Description

RF module family for the 863 – 870 MHz frequency range.

The Digi XBee SX 868 is an 868 MHz RF module for Europe. The module can run either a proprietary DigiMesh® or point-to-multipoint network protocol using a low-power microcontroller from Silicon Labs and an ADF7023 transceiver from Analog Devices, as well as an integrated SAW filter that provides industry-leading interference rejection. The RF module operates between 863 MHz and 870 MHz, making it usable in multiple regions of the world, including approved European countries.

The Digi XBee SX 868 also uses 868 MHz and surrounding frequencies for LBT + AFA (Listen Before Talk and Adaptive Frequency Agility). This significantly reduces interference by listening to the radio environment before a transmission begins and automatically switching to a new channel when interference is detected. This patented frequency scan is automatic and takes only a few microseconds to ensure performance is not compromised.

The Digi XBee RF module is a complete hardware and software solution that works right out of the box. XCTU®, Digi’s easy-to-use RF configuration tool, cuts development time from months to weeks and ensures your product gets to market quickly.
