Xbee Module Details:

Kit includes the very popular 2.4GHz XBee module.  These modules take the 802.15.4 stack (the basis for Zigbee) and wrap it into a simple to use serial command set. These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between microcontrollers, computers, systems, really anything with a serial port! Point to point and multi-point networks are supported.  Plug them in and you are ready to go.

Xbee Module Features:

• 3.3V @ 50mA
• 250kbps Max data rate
• 1mW output (+0dBm)
• 300ft (100m) range
• Built-in antenna
• Fully FCC certified
• 6 10-bit ADC input pins
• 8 digital IO pins
• 128-bit encryption
• Local or over-air configuration
• AT or API command set
