Digi International's XBee-PRO ZNet 2.5 provides up to 1.6 kilometers RF line-of-sight transmission, which can increase the number of applications around a ZigBee mesh networking environment.
The extended range is designed to run application in Zigbee networking environments where there is a greater distance between nodes such as automated meter reading, asset management and remote sensor management.
The XBee-PRO ZNet 2.5 operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band and will be available with four antenna options.
The XBee-PRO ZNet 2.5 is fully compatible with other products in Digi's XBee ZNet 2.5 Drop-in Networking line, including RF modules, adapters, wall routers and gateways.
