Part of the XBee family of wireless products, these modules are easy to use, share a common footprint, and are fully interoperable with other XBee products utilizing the same technology. This allows different XBee technologies to be drop-in replacements for each other; you can switch between 802.11, 802.15.4, ZigBee, DigiMesh and proprietary long-range with minimal development time or risk.
The XBee 2.4 DigiMesh modules use the same hardware as the XBee 802.15.4 modules. It is possible to change from one platform to the other by loading different firmware onto the same module.
