XBee
XBee — название семейства микропроцессорных радиомодулей комании Digi International. Первые модули семейства производились под брендом MaxStream в 2005[2] и использвали стандарт 802.15.4-2003, разработанный для беспроводных соединений с топологией точка-точка и звезда со скоростью передачи данных до 250 килобит/сек.[3]
Первоначально были представлены две модели — дешевый 1 mW XBee и более мощный 100 mW XBee-PRO.[4] После этого был выпущен в продажу целый ряд радиомодулей под названием XBee и с брендом Digi.
Модули XBee можно использовать с минимальным количеством коннекторов – питание (3.3 V), земля, прием и передача данных (UART), также рекомендуется использовать Reset и Sleep.[5]. Дополнительно к этому, большинство модулей семейства Xbee имеют линии для управления потоком передачи данных, цифрового ввода-вывода, АЦП и встроенные индикаторы режимов работы. A version of the XBees called the programmable XBee has an additional onboard processor for user’s code. The programmable XBee and a new surface mount (SMT) version of the XBee radios were both introduced in 2010.[6]
Product line

As of March 2016, the XBee radio family consists of[7]
- XBee 802.15.4 — The initial point-to-point topology or star topology module running the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol
- XBee-PRO 802.15.4 — A higher power, longer range version of the XBee 802.15.4
- XBee DigiMesh 2.4 — A 2.4 GHz XBee module that uses DigiMesh, a sleeping mesh networking protocol developed by Digi International
- XBee-PRO DigiMesh 2.4 — A higher power, longer range version of the XBee DigiMesh 2.4
- XBee ZB — An XBee module that incorporates the ZigBee PRO mesh networking protocol
- XBee-PRO ZB — A higher power, longer range version of the XBee ZB
- XBee ZB SMT — A surface mount XBee running the ZigBee protocol
- XBee-PRO ZB SMT — A higher power, longer range version of the XBee ZB SMT
- XBee SE — An XBee ZB module that incorporates the security cluster for the ZigBee Smart Energy public profile
- XBee-PRO SE — A higher power, longer range version of the XBee SE
- XBee-PRO 900HP — A 900 MHz XBee-PRO module with up to 28 mile range with high-gain antenna that supports DigiMesh networking protocol
- XBee-PRO 900 (Legacy) — A 900 MHz proprietary point-to-point and star topology module, not recommended for new design
- XBee-PRO XSC (S3B) — A 900 MHz module compatible over the air with the Digi 9XStream radios
- XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 (Legacy) — A 900 MHz module that uses DigiMesh, not recommended for new design (see XBee-PRO 900HP for new designs)
- XBee-PRO 868 — An 868 MHz 500 mW long-range module that supports proprietary point-to-point and star, for use in Europe
- XBee 865/868LP — An 868 MHz XBee module that uses DigiMesh, available in Surface Mount form-factor (also configurable to 865 MHz for use in India)
- XBee ZigBee (S2C) — Incorporates an upgrade to the transceiver chip, replacing the Silicon Labs EM250 with the Silicon Labs EM357, effectively adding more RAM, more flash, faster clock speed and lowering the current draw.[8]
- XBee-PRO ZigBee (S2C) — A higher power, longer range version of the XBee ZigBee (S2C)
