Digi XBee-PRO® XSC S3/S3B Long-Range RF Modules

Digi International XBee-PRO® XSC S3/S3B Long-Range RF Modules feature two times the throughput and 20 times less current draw than the previous XSC modules, making them ideal for long-range sensor applications. The modules feature an Analog Devices ADF7023 transceiver, delivering best-in-class distances up to 28 miles Line-of-Sight (LOS), along with low power consumption, drawing less than 2.5µA in power down. The XBee-PRO XSC S3/S3B hardware allows for several firmware options which are firmware compatible with the legacy 9XStream® and the legacy XBee-PRO XSC modules. Future firmware versions will support DigiMesh® along with Digi’s proprietary point-to-multipoint protocols.

Digi's free X-CTU configuration utility simplifies the configuration of the XSC module, which requires no programming. In addition, it can be easily configured via a simplified AT command set. The XSC S3B RF Modules are 900MHz modules capable of deploying point-to-point, peer-to-peer, and point-to-multipoint networks. Designed for maximum range, the XBee-PRO XSC S3B is ideal for solutions where RF penetration and absolute transmission distance are paramount to the application. With XBee®, users can have their network up-and-running in a matter of minutes without configuration or additional development. Once the network is running, XBee-PRO modules can accept simple AT commands for advanced configuration.
