Description Attachments

The Digi XBee 3 global cellular module is a compact, cutting-edge solution designed for rapid integration of cellular IoT capabilities. Equipped with cellular and BLE connectivity, end-device carrier certifications, and global positioning capabilities, it offers a seamless system for secure wireless devices with global connectivity. The combination of the XBee ecosystem and cellular functionality simplifies data management over a cellular connection.

Optimized for low-power, low-data applications like asset tracking and smart sensors, the module supports Cellular LTE-M and NB-IoT, handling under 5MB of data per month. It features a power-saving mode to extend battery life and deployment time. Note that it does not come with a SIM card or data plan, but options are available in the related products section.

To support cellular IoT development, the XBee 3 package includes an array of MicroPython programming resources, the intuitive XBee Studio tool suite, and a 12-month subscription to the Digi Remote Manager® for each module, enabling remote software updates and monitoring. The Digi XBee Studio accelerates development, production, and deployment, enhancing cellular IoT implementation.
