1-Watt 900 MHz RF modem features best-in-class range and power consumption for mission-critical wireless cable replacement

Digi XBee® SX 1-Watt 900 MHz RF modems provide a combination reliability and redundancy for integrators building low-power, mission-critical wireless systems. With interface options including RS232/485 or Digital/Analog I/O, these modems utilize the DigiMesh® wireless networking protocol, with redundant mesh network operation and support for low-power sleeping nodes.

Customers that don't require mesh network architecture can configure the modem to operate in simple point to multipoint mode. With ideal RF line-of-sight range estimated up to 65 miles and strong interference blocking, these modems are ideal for applications requiring a reliable, redundant wireless cable replacement over longer ranges.

The Digi XBee SX modems can be configured easily via the USB port, using Digi's free XCTU software. They are precertified for use in multiple countries and provide secure, reliable delivery of critical data between devices with 256-bit AES encryption.

BENEFITS

• Adjustable output power up to 1-Watt achieves up to 65 mile range with high gain antenna
• Interfaces options include RS-232, RS-485, USB, Analog I/O and Digital I/O
• DigiMesh networking topology for redundancy and reliability
• 256-bit AES encryption for secure data communications
• Rugged metal enclosure and -40? C to +85? C operating temperature for industrial applications
• Fully certified for use in free, unlicensed 900 MHz band

900 MHz radio modems offer long-range performance, advanced networking and simple out-of-the-box operation with multiple data interface options

Digi's XTend-PKG RF modems provide everything you need for out-of-the-box serial cable replacement, enabling quick wireless connectivity of electronic devices across a broad range of applications. Simply feed data into one modem and the data is transported to the other end of a long range wireless link. Data security is provided by 256-bit AES encryption (128-bit AES is available outside of North America). If more advanced functionality is needed, the modems support an extensive set of AT and binary commands.

Available in multiple interface options, including RS-232/422/485 and USB, XTend modems are ideally suited for remote monitoring, building automation/security, industrial automation/SCADA, fleet management/asset tracking and sensor data capture in embedded systems.
