There is also a special API mode, where the modules accept bytes of data from the host to transmit into the network.
There are two versions of the Xbee modules; 802.15.4 (DigiMesh 2.4) ) and ZB ZigBee. The difference being that the ZB modules are compatible with normal ZigBee networks, where the DigiMesh is a proprietary mesh solution. Each version comes in 2 flavors: XBee and XBee-Pro. The XBee-Pro modules have a more powerful radio, thus have a longer range.
