security and flexibility into the Digi XBee SMT footprint
for mission-critical wireless designs
Digi XBee SX 900 MHz RF modules are the “muscle modules” of
the Digi XBee ecosystem, providing a combination of reliability
and redundancy for OEMs building low-power, mission-critical
wireless devices. They utilize the DigiMesh® networking
protocol, featuring redundant mesh network operation and
support for low-power sleeping nodes. Customers that don’t
require mesh network architecture can configure the Digi XBee
SX to operate in simple point to multipoint mode.
With RF line-of-sight ranges up to 65 miles* and strong
interference blocking, these modules are ideal for applications
requiring the combination of range, data redundancy and data
reliability.
BENEFITS
– Family includes powerful 1-Watt 900 MHz Digi XBee-PRO SX
and battery-optimized 20 mW Digi XBee SX modules for
mission-critical OEM designs
– DigiMesh networking topology for redundancy and
reliability
– 256-bit AES encryption for secure data communications
– Digi XBee SMT form factor saves valuable PCB space
– Fully certified for use in unlicensed 900 MHz band
MONITORING AND
CONTROL APPLICATION
OEM CONTROLLER
The Digi XBee SX modules can be configured easily using
Digi’s free XCTU software or via Digi’s simplified AT or API
command sets. They are pre-certified for use in multiple
countries and include integrated antennas, removing the
burden of RF development/support costs and enabling fast
time to market for OEM designs. The modules provide secure,
reliable delivery of critical data between devices with 256-bit
AES encryption, and the small Digi XBee surface-mount form
factor saves valuable board space.

*30 dBm typical at 3.3 V and above. Maximum power will decrease at lower voltages.
**The device hops on 50 channels selected, using the CM command, from 101 available frequencies.
***We estimate rural ranges based on a 14.5 km (9 mi) range test with dipole antennas.
****Range estimated assuming that the urban noise floor is approximately 15 dB higher than rural. The actual range depends on the setup and level of interference in your location.
******Range figure estimates are based on free-air terrain with limited sources of interference. Actual range will vary based on transmitting power, orientation of transmitter and receiver, height of transmitting antenna,
height of receiving antenna, weather conditions, interference sources in the area, and terrain between receiver and transmitter, including indoor and outdoor structures such as walls, trees, buildings, hills, and mountains.
