Provides a hands-on way to learn how to use XBee RF

modules for device connectivity and mesh networking

Digi’s XBee ZigBee Mesh Kit oers a great way to learn how

to use XBee RF modules for device connectivity and ZigBee-

based mesh networking. Starting with simple examples,

we provide step-by-step guidance as you assemble the

kit components to create reliable, low-power device

communications and sensor networks.

Mesh networking is a powerful way to route data. Range

is extended by allowing data to hop from node to node,

and reliability is increased by “self-healing,” the ability to

create alternate paths when one node fails or a connection

is lost. ZigBee is one of the most popular mesh networking

protocols, specifically designed for low-data rate and low-

power applications. ZigBee is an open standard, enabling

interoperability between dierent device manufacturers.

This kit is designed for anyone interested in getting started

in the world of ZigBee. Hardware and soware engineers,

corporate technologists, or educators and students can

quickly learn more about ZigBee technology through hands-

on examples in the kit, utilizing XBee ZigBee modules.

XBee ZigBee Modules Included in the Kit

XBee and XBee-PRO® ZigBee modules are ideal for applications

in the energy and controls markets where time-to-market and

reliability are critical. With Digi’s extensive and easy-to-use

XBee API framework, customers can get their ZigBee product

to market faster than any other module available in the

XBEE® ZIGBEE

MESH KIT

The Kit Includes:

3 XBee Grove Development Board

3 XBee ZigBee Modules (TH and SMT)

3 Micro-USB Cables

2 XBee Stickers

Comprehensive Web and Video-Based Instruction
