Digi XBee XR 868 Development Kit

Complete Digi XBee XR 868 development platform operates in the 863-870 MHz range, delivering superior performance and interference immunity at 868 MHz

The Digi XBee XR 868 Development Kit features the Digi XBee 868 RF MHz module with RF pad antenna and a Digi XBee development board. The module is a compact and reliable solution supporting deployment of long-range connectivity applications in the European region. The pre-certified module operates between 863 and 870 MHz in compliance with European standards. The module supports both point-to-point and mesh networking protocols, with a line-of-sight range of over 14 kilometers. It is well suited for agriculture and energy applications where long-distance communication is required.

Digi XBee XR 868 also leverages 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 any transmission starts, and automatically shifting to a new channel when interference is detected. This patented frequency scan occurs automatically and in a matter of microseconds so as not to impact performance.

The Digi XBee XR 868 RF module is a complete hardware and software solution that works directly out of the box. Digi XCTU, Digi’s easy-to-use RF configuration tool, reduces development time from months to weeks, ensuring your product gets to market fast.
