FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
The XBee and XBee-PRO Module can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with
standard connectors (Type-N, SMA, TNC, etc.) if the installation is performed professionally and
according to FCC guidelines. For installations not performed by a professional, non-standard
connectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, etc.) must be used.
The modules are FCC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications on channels 0x0B-
0x1A for Xbee SE and on channels 0x0B - 0x18 for Xbee-PRO SE. If the antenna is mounted at
least 20cm (8 in.) from nearby persons, the application is considered a mobile application.
Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (Unique
Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 (Emissions).
XBee Modules: XBee Modules have been tested and approved for use with all the antennas listed
in the tables below. (Cable-loss IS required when using gain antennas as shown below.)
The antennas in the tables below have been approved for use with this module. Digi does not carry
all of these antenna variants. Contact Digi Sales for available antennas.
