Digi XBee® 3 Global LTE modules accelerate time-to-market for designers, OEMs and solution providers by quickly enabling wireless connectivity and easy-to-add functionality. Building on industry-leading technology, pre-certified Digi XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 modules offer the flexibility to switch between multiple frequencies and wireless protocols as needed.

Ideal for moderate bandwidth (typically less than 25 MB per month) and low-cost IoT applications, Digi XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 1 modules are cost-competitive with other modules that are based on older standards.

With Digi Remote Manager®, Digi XBee 3 Global LTE modules can be easily configured and controlled from a central platform. Built-in Digi TrustFence® security, identity and data privacy features use multiple layers of control to protect against new and evolving cyber threats. Standard Digi XBee API frames and AT commands, MicroPython and Digi XCTU® simplify setup, configuration, testing and adding or changing functionality.

Digi XBee 3 Global LTE modules are a key offering in the Digi XBee Ecosystem of wireless modules, adapters, tools and software — all engineered to accelerate product and application development, deployment and management.
