XBee®/XBee‐PRO® ZB SMT RF Modules
FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
The XBee and XBee-PRO RF Module can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with
standard connectors (Type-N, SMA, TNC, etc.).
The modules are FCC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications for the channels indicated in
the tables below. If the antenna is mounted at least 20cm (8 in.) from nearby persons, the application is
considered a mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to comply with FCC Section
15.203 (Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 (Emissions).
XBee RF Modules: XBee RF Modules have been tested and approved for use with all the antennas listed in
the tables below. (Cable-loss IS required when using gain antennas as shown below.)
The antennas in the tables below have been approved for use with this module. Digi does not carry all of
these antenna variants. Contact Digi Sales for available antennas.
