XBEE® 868LP FOR EUROPE

RF module family operates in the 863-870 MHz range utilizing 30 channels to deliver superior performance and interference immunity at 868 MHz The XBee 868LP module was designed to provide a high-performance, low-power module at an extremely competitive price point. The XBee 868LP module can run either a proprietary DigiMesh® or pointto-multipoint networking protocol utilizing a low-power Energy Micro microcontroller and an Analog Devices ADF7023 transceiver, which offers industry-leading interference blocking. The XBee 868LP operates between 863-870 MHz, making it deployable in several regions throughout the world including approved European countries and India by utilizing a software selectable channel masking feature. The XBee 868LP is also the industry’s first RF module using 868 MHz and surrounding frequencies for LBT + AFA (Listen Before Talk and Adaptive Frequency Agility). This virtually eliminates interference by listening to the radio environment before any transmission starts, and automatically shifting to a new channel when interference is detected. This patent-pending frequency scan occurs automatically and in a matter of microseconds so as not to impact performance. The programmable version of the XBee 868LP module makes customizing wireless applications easy. Programming directly on the module eliminates the need for a separate host processor. Because the wireless software is isolated, applications can be developed with no risk to RF performance, security or additional certifications.
