Radio communication protocols
A radio communication protocol is a set of rules for data exchange between radio devices. An RF module supports a specific radio communication protocol depending on the module and its radio firmware.
The following is the complete list of protocols supported by the XBee radio modules:
- IEEE 802.15.4
- ZigBee
- ZigBee Smart Energy
- DigiMesh (Digi proprietary)
- ZNet
- IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi)
- Point-to-multipoint (Digi proprietary)
- XSC (XStream-compatible)
Not all XBee devices can run all listed communication protocols. The combination of XBee hardware and radio firmware determines the protocol that an XBee device can execute. For more information about the available XBee RF modules and the protocols they support, see XBee RF Family Comparison Matrix.
