Development kit supports LTE CAT 1 embedded modem

Featuring the Digi XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 embedded modem, designers can quickly integrate cutting-edge LTE cellular into their devices and applications by eliminating the time-consuming and expensive FCC and carrier end-device certification process. The kit also comes pre-loaded with three months of cellular data service, preactivated and ready to go.

The development kit lets users prototype cellular integration using onboard templates.

With the full suite of standard Digi XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython, and Digi XCTU, users can seamlessly transition to this embedded modem with only minor software adjustments.

Utilising the Digi XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 smart modem, OEMs and solution providers can also have the flexibility to switch between multiple frequencies and wireless protocols as needed. These pre-certified Global LTE Cat 1 modules are built on industry-leading technology and are ideal for moderate bandwidth (typically less than 25 MB per month) and low-cost IoT applications.

Pairing Digi Remote Manager with the XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 modem allows users to configure and control the modem from a central platform.

The built-in Digi TrustFence security, identity, and data privacy features use multiple control layers to protect against new and evolving cyber threats.

Standard XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython, and XCTU simplify setup, configuration, testing and adding or changing functionality.
