Description
Xbee S2C 2mW Wireless Module with Antenna
The XBee S2C is a wireless RF module that enables data exchange and communication using ZigBee mesh protocols, which are built on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY. Designed for applications that require low latency and predictable communication timing, the XBee 802.15.4 RF modules provide reliable communication in point-to-point, peer-to-peer, and multipoint/star configurations, making them perfect for end-point connectivity. They can be used as a cable replacement for simple serial communication or as part of a hub-and-spoke network of sensors.
With the XBee 802.15.4 RF modules, developers can enjoy true beyond-the-horizon connectivity, as they seamlessly interface with compatible gateways, device adapters, and range extenders. The updated XBee S2C 802.15.4 module, built with the Silicon Labs EM357 SoC, offers improved power consumption, support for over-the-air firmware updates, and an upgrade path to Digi mesh or ZigBee mesh protocols if desired.
These XBee modules are especially useful for energy and controls markets where manufacturing efficiencies are critical. If you are a current customer, the XBee Zigbee migration guide can help you migrate from S2B XBee ZigBee modules to the S2C XBee ZigBee modules and take advantage of the performance improvements they offer.
The XBee 2mW Wire Antenna S2C, the latest module in the Series 2 line, provides cost-effective wireless solutions for electronic devices, enabling point-to-multipoint device connectivity with ease. It is interoperable with other ZigBee feature set devices, including devices from other vendors. The S2C version of the XBee ZigBee Series 2 module uses the EM357 transceiver, which is faster, has lower current draw, and significantly more RAM and Flash. This enables EM357-based modules to support more network traffic, have more memory for code updates, and operate more efficiently.
