DIGI XBEE 3 CELLULAR LTE CAT 1
Digi XBee 3 smart modems offer the easiest way to integrate cellular connectivity into
an OEM device or IoT gateway
Digi XBee® 3 modules accelerate time to market for
designers, OEMs and solution providers by quickly enabling
wireless connectivity and easy-to-add functionality. Building
on industry-leading technology, pre-certified Digi XBee 3
modules offer the flexibility to switch between multiple
frequencies and wireless protocols as needed.
Ideal for moderate bandwidth (typically < 25 MB per month)
and low-cost IoT applications, Digi XBee 3 Cellular LTE Cat 1
modules are cost-competitive with modules based on older
standards.
BENEFITS
– Integrated MicroPython programmability enables custom
scripting directly on the modem
– Transparent and API modes simplify software design
– MQTT support for Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS
– FCC certified and carrier end-device certified for Verizon,
AT&T, Telus and Bell
– Smallest end-device certified cellular modem
– Direct USB provides easy PPP integration option
– OTA firmware updates
– Enhanced with Digi TrustFence® security framework
– Manage/configure with Digi XCTU® and Digi Remote Manager®
– Bluetooth® Low Energy for beaconing, connecting to
Bluetooth sensors and local configuration using the
Digi XBee Mobile app
– Modem includes SIM, ready to activate at shop.digi.com
With Digi Remote Manager®, Digi XBee 3 modules can be easily
configured and controlled from a central platform. Built-in
Digi TrustFence® security, identity and data privacy features
use multiple layers of control to protect against new and
evolving cyber threats. Standard Digi XBee API frames and
AT commands, MicroPython and Digi XCTU® simplify setup,
configuration, testing and adding or changing functionality.
Digi XBee 3 modules are the latest addition to the Digi XBee
Ecosystem of wireless modules, adapters and software – all
engineered to accelerate development and deployment.
