Digi XBee 3 BLU Development Kit

Complete Digi XBee 3 BLU development platform to integrate compact, flexible Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity for IoT devices

The Digi XBee® 3 BLU Development Kit offer an easy-to-use Bluetooth® development platform for designers, OEMs and solution providers supporting Bluetooth 5.4 Low Energy for industrial wireless IoT connectivity. The module supports an industrial temperature range of −40 ºC to 85 ºC (−40 ºF to 185 ºF) making it robust for a variety of industrial applications.

The pre-certified modules comes in the classic XBee form factors (MMT and through-hole) offering MicroPython programmability, beaconing, Bluetooth sensor support and the Digi XBee Mobile App to accelerate use in industrial wireless projects.

Pre-certified modules and tools for development

The pre-certified modules offer MicroPython programmability, beaconing, Bluetooth sensor support and the Digi XBee Mobile App to accelerate use in industrial wireless projects.

Standard Digi XBee API frames and AT commands, as well as MicroPython and Digi XBee Studio, make it simple to set up, configure and test modules or update their functionality.

Digi XBee Bluetooth Low Energy 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.

Built-in Digi TrustFence® security, identity and data privacy features use multiple layers of control to protect against new and evolving cyber threats. Bluetooth Low Energy also adds security via pairing & bonding, encrypted advertising along with existing XBee security including secure boot, hardware cryptographic acceleration and true random number generation.

Proven experience and expert support

Our decades of embedded experience and millions of deployed devices tell our story; Digi is a trusted solutions provider dedicated to simplifying the way OEMs design, build, deploy and maintain secure connected products.

Digi Wireless Design Services (WDS) provides additional connectivity integration support, certification assistance, and custom design and build services to get your products to market smarter and faster, and support you wherever you are along your development path.
