XBee S2B

XBee S2B module

This is the XBP24-BZ7UIT-004 XBee S2B module from ainow. The new Series 2B improves upon the power output and data protocol of the Pro Series2. Series 2B modules allow you to create complex mesh networks based on the XBee ZB mesh firmware. 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.
Series 2B modules use a different hardware configuration from the earlier models and while they will communicate with Series 2 XBee modules, they are not compatible with the outdated Series 2.5 Modules.
Regular VS Pro
There are a few differences between the regular XBee S2B module and the XBee Pros. The Pros are a bit longer, use more power. The greater power means longer range (1 mile instead of 300ft) so if you need the range then use the Pros, otherwise stick with the regular models. You can mix and match these on the same network.

Note: If you are looking for a simple point-to-point configuration, you might want to try the Series 1 instead. The Series 2 requires considerable setup and configuration.
Note: Series 1 and Series 2B XBee modules have the same pin-out. However, Series 1 modules cannot communicate with Series 2B modules.
Note: If you are using these ide, please check with your local laws regarding radio communication.
