Our XBee/XBee-PRO ZB RF modules are built on the same hardware as the XBee/XBee-PRO S2C DigiMesh 2.4. It is possible to load DigiMesh 2.4 firmware on existing Zigbee modules. The table below shows which part numbers are compatible with DigiMesh 2.4 firmware.
Note Currently the DigiMesh 2.4 firmware is approved for use only in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan. You can find region-specific regulatory information for the firmware in Regulatory information.
CAUTION! The antenna cable loss requirements for the DigiMesh 2.4 firmware are different than the Zigbee firmware for gain antennas exceeding 2.1 dBi. If you migrate a Zigbee device to DigiMesh 2.4 firmware, and are using gain antennas, you must adhere to the cable loss requirements found in Regulatory information.

In addition to the differences between the DigiMesh 2.4 and Zigbee protocols, some of the operational features are different between the two firmware versions. For example, the XBee-PRO DigiMesh 2.4 supports fewer channels than the Zigbee firmware. It is important that you read and understand this user guide before developing with the DigiMesh 2.4 firmware.
