Digi XBee® RR Pro Module - U.FL Antenna

The XBee RR 802.15.4 RF Modules are amazing embedded solutions. They offer seamless wireless end - point connectivity to your devices. These devices rely on the IEEE 802.15.4 networking protocol, enabling super - fast point - to - multipoint or peer - to - peer networking. Ideal for high - throughput applications, they ensure low latency and predictable communication timing. Moreover, they are a perfect fit for low - cost, low - power wireless sensor networks, consuming minimal power while delivering data reliably between devices. Operating in the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band, you can configure them locally via BLE using the Digi XBee Mobile app. The XBee RR has similar functionality to the XBee3, but without MicroPython and the full BLE programmable services of the XBee3. The XBee line offers near - plug - and - play wireless and mesh functionality for microcontroller - based projects, and the RR series takes it a step further. This is the PRO version of the RR module with a U.FL Antenna connector (antenna sold separately). The PRO line allows for extra radio customization but needs a bit more configuration than standard XBee modules. Check the datasheet in the documents tab for full details. Key features include: 2.4 GHz, Zigbee, U.FL antenna, Through - hole; 1 MB flash and 96 kB RAM memory; Silicon Labs EFR32MG SoC transceiver chipset; RF 250 Kbps and serial up to 1 Mbps data rate; up to 90 m (300 ft) indoor/urban range and up to 3200 m (2 miles) outdoor/line - of - sight range; +19 dBm transmit power; −103 dBm normal mode receiver sensitivity. Bluetooth® performance supports BLE 4.2 (slave only) and can work with BLE 5.0 devices supporting 1M PHY. Hardware can be software - upgraded to 5.0 (except payload extensions, future release). It has 1 Mbps speed, up to 15 m (49 ft) indoor/urban range, up to 300 m (984 ft) outdoor/RF line - of - sight range, +8 dBm transmit power, and −95 dBm normal mode receiver sensitivity (1% per). It has UART and SPI serial data interfaces, an operating temperature of −40 °C to 85 °C (−40 °F to 185 °F), dimensions of 2.438 x 2.761 cm (0.960 x 1.087 in), a supply voltage of 1.72 – 3.8 V, 195 mA transmit current at 19 dBm, and uses the Zigbee 3.0 protocol.

Using this Digi XBee® RR Professional Module is easy. First, make sure you've got the right antenna for the U.FL Antenna connector (you'll need to buy it separately). Connect the module to your device according to the instructions in the datasheet. You can configure it locally using the Digi XBee Mobile app via BLE. When it comes to power, ensure the supply voltage is between 1.72 and 3.8 V. The module can operate in a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C, but try to keep it in a stable environment for the best performance. Regarding maintenance, keep the module clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions like high humidity or strong magnetic fields. If you need to update the software, check the official website for the latest upgrades. And always refer to the datasheet for any detailed information or advanced configuration.
