Embedded RF modules deliver wireless connectivity using
the innovative and easy-to-deploy DigiMesh protocol
Digi XBee DigiMesh S2C 2.4 embedded RF modules provide
wireless connectivity to electronic devices using a globally
deployable 2.4 GHz transceiver. These modules use the
DigiMesh networking protocol. This innovative, peer-to-
peer mesh network oers users added network stability
through self-healing, dense network operation, extending the
operational life of battery dependent networks.
Digi XBee modules are ideal for low-power applications.
Digi XBee-PRO modules are power-amplified versions of Digi
XBee modules for extended-range applications. Products
in the Digi XBee family are easy to use, share a common
hardware footprint, and are fully interoperable with other

Digi XBee products utilizing the same technology. They are
available in a variety of dierent protocols to suit dierent
applications, enabling users to substitute one Digi XBee
module for another with minimal development time and risk.
The updated Digi XBee S2C DigiMesh module is built with
the SiliconLabs EM357 SoC and oers improved power
consumption, support for over-the-air firmware updates, and
provides an upgrade path to IEEE 802.15.4 or ZigBee® mesh
protocols if desired.

*Range figure estimates are based on free-air terrain with limited sources of interference. Actual range will vary based on transmitting power, orientation of transmitter and receiver,
height of transmitting antenna, height of receiving antenna, weather conditions, interference sources in the area, and terrain between receiver and transmitter, including indoor and
outdoor structures such as walls, trees, buildings, hills, and mountains.
