Product Name: Wireless Proprietary RF Solutions XStream-PKG RF Modems

Product Description

Indoor/urban range up to 1500 feet 
Outdoor line-of-sight range up to 20 miles (with high gain antenna) 
7 frequency hopping channels, each with 65K available addresses 
Outstanding receiver sensitivity
(-110 dB @9600 bps) 


Digi’s XStream-PKG RF modems can be configured in minutes to provide low-cost serial cable replacement between all types of electronic devices. Available in 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz models, XStream-PKG modems provide transmission ranges of up to 20 miles in a low-cost wireless solution. The modems are coupled with a DIP-switchable RS-232/422/485 interface board and regularly outperform more expensive RF modems. 

Their outstanding receiver sensitivity enable XStream-PKG modems to yield two- to eight-times the range of competing modems, allowing customers to cover more ground with fewer devices. Additionally, XStream-PKG modems are easy to use, thereby reducing the complexity of data system development. 

Available in a variety of data interface options, including RS-232/422/485 serial, USB and telephone, XStream-PKG modems can wirelessly connect a variety of devices across many applications including remote monitoring, building automation/security, industrial automation/SCADA, fleet management/asset tracking and sensor data capture in embedded systems.
