Description
Digi XBee® SX 868 RF module: High-performance connectivity for Europe
The Digi XBee® SX 868 RF module is the optimal solution for wireless connectivity applications in Europe. Operating in the 868 MHz range, the module offers the flexibility to run either a proprietary DigiMesh® or a point-to-multipoint network protocol. Equipped with a low-power microcontroller from Silicon Labs, an ADF7023 transceiver from Analog Devices and an integrated SAW filter, it sets the standard for interference rejection. The Digi XBee® SX 868 operates between 863 MHz and 870 MHz, enabling worldwide applicability, including certified European countries.
Intelligent interference management and a ready-to-use solution
Utilizing 868 MHz and surrounding frequencies, the Digi XBee® SX 868 relies on LBT + AFA (Listen Before Talk and Adaptive Frequency Agility). This significantly reduces interference by monitoring the radio environment before each transmission and automatically switching to a new channel if necessary. The patented frequency scan takes place in a few microseconds without affecting performance.
The Digi XBee® SX 868 RF module offers a comprehensive hardware and software solution that is ready to use. Digi’s easy-to-use XCTU® RF configuration tool significantly reduces development time, enables fast configuration and helps you get your product to market quickly.
Ideal for industrial requirements
The Digi XBee SX 868 RF module is ideal for precision agriculture applications where wireless connectivity is critical for efficient processes and optimal resource utilization. Discover the performance and reliability of the Digi XBee SX 868 for your industrial needs.
