Digiâ€s XStream-PKG RF modems can be configured in minutes to provide low-cost serial cable replacement between all types of electronic devices. Available in 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz models, XStream-PKG modems provide transmission ranges of up to 20 miles in a low-cost wireless solution. The modems are coupled with a DIP-switchable RS-232/422/485 interface board and regularly outperform more expensive RF modems.
