RF Modules
900 MHz Embedded RF Modules for OEMs
900 MHz embedded RF modules provide OEMs with
a low-cost wireless solution.
Overview
Digi’s XCite embedded RF modules enable easy and reliable
serial wireless connectivity between devices with minimal
development out-of-the-box. A low-cost alternative to
XStream® embedded RF modules, XCite modules are pin-forpin and over-the-air compatible with XStream modules (in 9.6
kbps configurations).
Innovations stamped in their design enable XCite RF modules
to yield two- to eight-times the range of competing RF devices.
This allows OEMs and integrators to cover more ground with
fewer devices, with increased reliability. Additionally, XCite RF
modules are easy to use, thereby reducing the complexity of
data system development and time to market.
Available in a variety of configurations, including Commercial
or Industrial Temperature ratings, and two antenna variants,
XCite RF modules can wirelessly connect a variety of devices
across many applications including remote monitoring,
building automation/security, industrial automation/SCADA,
fleet management/asset tracking and sensor data capture in
embedded systems.
