• The XBP24-Z7WIT-004 module is part of the XBee ZB family which provides ZigBee level interoperability with ZigBee devices from other vendors. This hardware is only compatible with other ZB XBee modules; it is not compatible with the XBee 802.15.4.
• How else do the XBEE S2B WITH USB CP2102 differ from 802.15.4? ZB: Is compatible only with ZB family
• Slightly longer communication distance: 400 feet and up to two miles line of sight for the 1.25 mW and 60 mW modules respectively
• Maximum baud rate is higher at up to 1 Mbps
• Slightly lower power consumption than 802.15.4
• Two less A/D I/Os and two more digital I/Os than 802.15.4
• The most common factor in determining whether to use ZB is the potential need to tie-in with other ZigBee-compatible networks. If this is not a requirement, 802.15.4 may be perfectly suitable for your project. Still having trouble deciding whether to use 802.15.4 or ZB?
• Because the XBee modules have 2 mm pin spacing, we recommend one of our adapter boards for each module. Our adapter boards provide several advantages to the XBee modules such breadboard-friendly standard 0.1 -inch pin spacing, mounting holes, and easy-to-solder connections. Even if you are communicating point-to-point without a PC, we still recommend that you always have at least one XBEE S2B WITH USB CP2102 so you can easily configure and test each XBee module prior to putting it in a point-to-point application.
