XBee®/XBee-PRO XTend Compatible (XTC) RF Module

User Guide

The XBee/XBee-PRO XTend Compatible (XTC) RF module provides a radio frequency (RF) solution for

the reliable delivery of critical data between remote devices. It is a 30 dBm (1 Watt) long-range

original equipment manufacturer (OEM) device. We also offer a low power version of this module that

offers transmit power adjustable up to 13 dBm.

The XTC module uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) agility to avoid interference by

hopping to a new frequency on every packet transmission or re-transmission. Its transmit power is

software adjustable up to 30 dBm, which is the maximum output power allowable by governments

that use 900 MHz as a license-free band. The XTC module is approved for use in the United States and

Canada. The Australia certified module is a separate variant.

The XTC transfers a standard asynchronous serial data stream, operates within the ISM 900 MHz

frequency band and offers two RF data rates of 10 kb/s and 125 kb/s for the United States and

Canada variant. The Australia variant offers two data rates of 10 kb/s and 105 kb/s.

As the name suggests, the XTC is over-the-air compatible with Digi's XTend module. The XTC is not a

drop-in replacement for the XTend. If you require form factor compatibility, you must use the XTend vB

RF Module.

For new applications, we recommend that you use the XBee/XBee-Pro SX module. It uses the same

hardware as the XTC but we optimize the firmware for the best range and interference immunity.

However, it is not over-the-air compatible with the XTend.

Performance specifications

The following table describes the performance specifications for the devices.

Note Range figure estimates are based on free-air terrain with limited sources of interference. Actual

range will vary based on transmitting power, orientation of transmitter and receiver, height of

transmitting antenna, height of receiving antenna, weather conditions, interference sources in the

area, and terrain between receiver and transmitter, including indoor and outdoor structures such as

walls, trees, buildings, hills, and mountains.
