XTend® OEM
RF Modules
1 Watt/900 MHz OEM RF Modules

Long-range wireless modules enable communication from
UART serial data with peer-to-peer, point-to-multipoint,
repeater and DigiMesh® networking topologies.

Overview
The XTend OEM RF module provides unprecedented range in
a low-cost wireless data solution. The module is easy to use,
requires minimal power, provides reliable delivery of critical
data between devices, and its small form factor saves valuable
board space.
The XTend module utilizes FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum) agility to avoid interference by hopping to a new
frequency on every packet transmission or re-transmission. Its
transmit power is software adjustable from 1 mW to 1 W—the
maximum output power allowable by governments that use 900
MHz as a license-free band. The XTend module is approved for
use in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries
(contact Digi for a complete listing).
Innovations stamped in its design enable the XTend module
to supply two- to eight-times the range of other modules
operating within the unlicensed 900 MHz frequency band. The
range gained by OEMs and integrators is due to proprietary
technologies embedded into each module, including superior
RX (receiver) sensitivity, interference immunity, modulation/
demodulation techniques, and others.
No configuration is necessary for out-of-the-box RF
communication. The XTend module’s default configuration
supports a wide range of data system applications. Advanced
configurations can be implemented using simple AT or binary
commands.
