DIGI XBEE® DIGI XBEE-PRO® ZIGBEE

Embedded ZigBee modules provide OEMs with a simple way to integrate mesh technology into their application

Digi XBee and Digi XBee-PRO ZigBee RF modules provide cost-effective wireless connectivity to electronic devices. They are interoperable with other ZigBee PRO feature set devices, including devices from other vendors*.

Digi XBee and Digi XBee-PRO ZigBee modules are ideal for applications in the energy and controls markets where manufacturing efficiencies are critical. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) provides a high-speed interface and optimizes integration with embedded microcontrollers, lowering development costs and reducing time to market.

Products in the Digi XBee family require little to no configuration or additional development. Programmable versions of the Digi XBee and Digi XBee-PRO ZigBee module make customizing applications easy. Programming directly on the module eliminates the need for a separate processor. Because the wireless software is isolated, applications can be developed with no risk to RF performance or security.

Digi’s ZigBee compatible module is based on the Ember EM35x (EM357 and EM3587) system on chip (SoC) radio ICs from SiliconLabs, utilizing 32-bit ARM Cortex™ M3 processor. The S2D EM3587 version has a larger memory footprint for customers who may want to upgrade to Thread, an IPv6 based networking stack.

*Interoperability requires the ZigBee Feature Set or ZigBee PRO Feature Set to be deployed on all devices. Contact Digi Support for details.
