After years of popularity with the XBee Series 1 and XBee Series 2 Pro Modules, we now have the XBee Series 3 Pro which brings the best of both worlds. XBee 3 not only handles 802.15.4, and ZigBee, but also BLE protocols and you can now talk to the modules over UART or SPI as well. With a 300ft indoor range, or 2mile outdoor/line-of-sight range, you can set up a mesh network to talk to or communicate with various devices around your house, work, or other area.

This module has the familiar XBee package while sporting a connector to add an RP-SMA antenna. You also get a built-in microcontroller so you can also configure and program the modules using MicroPython as well as Digi’s XCTU software
