RF Modules
The XBee and XBee-PRO RF Modules were engineered to meet IEEE 802.15.4 standards and support
the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networks. The modules require minimal
power and provide reliable delivery of data between devices.
The modules operate within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band and are pin-for-pin compatible with
each other.
