FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules can be installed using 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 (XBee) and
0x0C - 0x17 (XBee-PRO). 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 OEM RF Modules (1 mW): XBee Modules have been tested and approved for use with all of the antennas
listed in the tables below (Cable-loss IS NOT required).
XBee-PRO OEM RF Modules (60 mW): XBee-PRO Modules have been tested and approved for use with the
antennas listed in the tables below (Cable-loss IS required when using antennas listed in Table A-02).
