XBee-PRO PKG RF modems provide everything you need for off-the-shelf IEEE 802.15.4 mesh networking connectivity to electronic serial devices. Simply feed data into one modem and the data is transported to the other end of a wireless link. No configuration is necessary for out-of-the-box RF communications. The modemâ€s default configuration supports a wide range of data system applications. Advanced configurations can be implemented using simple AT commands or API
