Difference between Zigbee XBEE ZNet and XBEE PRO ZNet 2.5 RF Module
Both XBEE ZNet 2.5 and XBEE PRO ZNet 2.5 OEM are RF modules developed to operate with Zigbee protocol. These are developed by Digi International Inc. They need min. power and deliver data between remote devices using RF frequency of 2.4 GHz (ISM Band).
These devices are very popular due to lower cost. The device is available as a zigbee kit with RS232 and TTL interface for data connectivity with microcontroller/microprocessor and need about 5V power supply. This can be easily interfaced with RS232 port on the PC.
This XBEE Zigbee device is compatible with RS232/USB/RS485 XBEE adapters and also with zigbee stick, routers and gateways.
Following are silent features of these devices.
• Distance of 300 m the indoor and 100 m in the outdoor.
• Transmit power output of 20dBm (i.e. 100 mW)
• Receiver sensitivity of -102dBm
• RF data rate of 250Kbps
• Supports point-to-point,point-to-multipoint and peer to peer topologies.
• Approved in US and Canada
