Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/WRL-22329:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The Digi XBee 3 global cellular module is a cutting-edge, compact module engineered for rapid integration of cellular IoT capabilities. This innovative solution is equipped with cellular and BLE connectivity with end-device carrier certifications, and is designed to create secure wireless devices featuring global connectivity and positioning capabilities. A combination of the XBee ecosystem and cellular functionality makes for a simple system for working with data over a cellular connection. Cellular LTE-M and NB-IoT are optimized for low-power, low data applications such as asset tracking and smart sensors (under 5MB of data per month). Global connectivity is immediately available with the XBee 3 global cellular. It features an excellent power saving mode to extend battery life and deployment time. It does not come with a SIM card or data plan, but Sparkfun have options available. Check out the related products section. To augment cellular IoT development, the XBee 3 package comes complete with an array of MicroPython programming resources, the intuitive XBee Studio tool suite, and a 12-month subscription to the Digi Remote Manager® for each module, enabling remote software updates and monitoring. The Digi XBee Studio, a powerful tool designed to accelerate development, production, and deployment, further enhances cellular IoT implementation. ### Features - Hardware - Cellular Chipset: Telit ME310G1-WW - Form factor (connector footprint): Digi XBee® 20-pin through-hole - Antenna options: 1 U.FL cellular, 1 U.FL Bluetooth®, 1 U.FL GNSS - Dimensions: 24.38 mm x 32.94 mm (0.96 in x 1.3 in) - Operating temperature: -40 ºC to 85 ºC (-40 ºF to 185 ºF) - SIM size: 4FF Nano - Interface and I/O - Data interface: UART, SPI, USB - Operating modes (LTE-M): Transparent and API over serial, PPP over USB - Operating modes (NB-IoT): Transparent, API, UDP - Security: Digi TrustFence® security with secure boot and protected JTAG - Configuration tools: Digi XBee Studio® (local), Digi Remote Manager® (OTA) - Embedded programmability: MicroPython with 1024 kB flash / 64 kB RAM - I/O: 4 ADC lines (10-bit), 13 digital I/O, USB, I2C - Bluetooth: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) - Cellular characteristics - Transmit power: Up to 23 dBm (LTE-M/NB-IoT), up to 33 dBm (2G) - Receive sensitivity (LTE-M): -105 dBm - Receive sensitivity (NB-IoT): -113 dBm - Supported bands: LTE Bands B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B27, B28, B66, B71, B85; 2G Bands B2, B3, B5, B8 - Downlink / uplink speeds (LTE-M): Up to 588 kbps downilnk, up to 1 Mbps uplink - Downlink / uplink speeds (NB-IoT): Up to 120 kbps downlink, up to 160 kbps uplink - Downlink / uplink speeds (2G): Up to 264 kbps downlink, up to 210 kbps uplink - Duplex mode: Half-duplex - Power requirements (at 3.3 VDC input power) - Supply voltage: 3.3 – 4.3 VDC - Peak transmit current: 550 mA with Bluetooth disabled; 610 mA with Bluetooth enabled - Avg transmit current (LTE-M): 1.25 A peak, 410 mA average (GM2 modules) - Avg transmit current (NB-IoT): 1.3 A peak, 410 mA average (GM2 modules) - Avg transmit current (2G): 2.1 A peak, 320 mA average (GM2 modules) - Idle: 200 mA peak, 100 mA average - Power save mode: 20 µA - Deep sleep: 2.65 µA - Regulatory and carrier approvals\* - FCC (USA): MCQ-XB3M2 - ISED (Canada): 1846A-XB3M2 - CE / RED (Europe): Complete - UKCA (United Kingdom): Complete - Japan: Pending - Brazil: Pending - Mexico (NOM): Pending - PTCRB, AT&T and Verizon: Complete ### Documents - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/digi-xbee-3-global-lte-m-nb-iot-datasheet_14281d985c8.pdf) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/W/R/WRL-22329-1.jpg)
