New kit allows developers to quickly gain expertise and insight to applications of wireless connectivity with XBee® Modules
MINNETONKA, Minn. and THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., Aug. 24, 2015 – Digi International®, (NASDAQ: DGII, https://www.digi.com), the M2M solutions expert, and Digi-Key Electronics (https://www.digikey.com/en),th
With more than 10 million XBee modules deployed, the technology is proven to enable fast time-to-market, design flexibility, low development costs, and excellent range for those seeking to incorporate wireless capabilities into a whole new range of products and solutions. The new connectivity kit offers beginners and experienced designers and engineers alike the opportunity to easily incorporate wireless communications into their designs.
The kit features two XBee Grove Development Boards – an innovative new board for XBee modules that incorporates the universal 4 pin connector used by Grove sensors, two XBee RF modules and micro-USB cables. With the kit, developers can gain an understanding of how to incorporate wireless connectivity into their solutions, as well as create prototypes for testing proofs-of-concept (POC).
“This is another step in our relationship with Digi-Key to enable hundreds of thousands of engineers to realize the value that Digi products offer,” said Richard Halliday, vice president of channel sales and alliances, Digi International. “Working with Digi-Key provides an efficient way to expose all types of designers to the entire breadth of innovative wireless capabilities Digi International offers – and demonstrates how easy it can be to incorporate reliable, scalable and secure wireless connectivity within a variety of products and solutions.”
“By providing this solution, engineers can quickly understand all the value that wireless connectivity can bring to their solution and how easy it is to incorporate,” said David Stein, Vice President, Global Semiconductors at Digi-Key. “We’re excited to continue introducing offerings that showcase the exceptional capabilities of the XBee product line.”
Digi-Key has created a dedicated site allowing engineers to become more familiar with the extent of XBee capabilities and determine which XBee solutions are best suited to their needs. The site is located at https://www.digikey.com/en/prod
