XBee Pro S2C 63mW 802.15.4 Module without Antenna

Description

1. Wireless Technology: The XBee Pro S2C module uses the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol for low-power, short-range wireless communication. It operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
2. Transmit Power: The module provides a maximum transmit power of 63 milliwatts (mW). This power level can enable communication over moderate distances, depending on the surrounding environment and potential obstacles.
3. Antenna Connection: The version of the module you mentioned comes without an integrated antenna. Instead, it typically features a U.FL (also known as IPX) connector, allowing you to attach an external antenna for improved range and signal quality. The choice of antenna can significantly impact the performance and range of the module.
4. Data Rate: The module supports data rates up to 250 kbps, which is suitable for various data communication tasks.
5. Range: The range of communication can vary depending on the specific environment and the type of antenna used. With a suitable external antenna, you can achieve communication ranges of several hundred meters to a few kilometers in open spaces.
6. I/O Pins: The module typically offers a limited number of digital and analog I/O pins that can be used for interfacing with sensors, actuators, or other devices.
7. Configuration: The XBee Pro S2C module can be configured using AT (Attention) commands and typically interfaces with a microcontroller or computer through a UART (serial) connection.
8. Operating Voltage: The module typically operates at 3.3V DC.
9. Form Factor: The module is designed to fit a standard XBee footprint, making it compatible with various XBee shields and adapter boards.
10. Network Topology: The XBee Pro S2C modules can be configured for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or mesh network topologies, offering flexibility for different project requirements.
11. Security: The modules support various security features, including AES-128 encryption, to protect data during transmission.
