Digi XBee® 3 Low-Power LTE-M/NB-IoT, GNSS, no SIM

The Digi XBee 3 Global Cellular module is a compact, low-power module designed for rapid integration of cellular IoT capabilities. It combines LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 2G connectivity with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and GNSS positioning in the familiar XBee 20-pin through-hole form factor.

Optimised for low-power, low-data applications such as asset tracking and smart sensors (under 5MB/month), the module features an ultra-low-power deep sleep mode (2.65μA) for extended battery life. It includes MicroPython programmability, the Digi XBee Studio tool suite, and a 12-month Digi Remote Manager subscription for over-the-air updates and monitoring.

Key Features

  • Global Cellular Connectivity – LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 2G fallback with end-device carrier certifications
  • Bluetooth Low Energy – Built-in BLE for local device communication
  • GNSS Positioning – Integrated positioning for asset tracking applications
  • Ultra-Low Power – Deep sleep at just 2.65μA, power save mode at 20μA
  • MicroPython Programmable – 1024kB flash / 64kB RAM for on-module applications
  • Digi TrustFence Security – Secure boot and protected JTAG
  • XBee Form Factor – Standard 20-pin through-hole footprint

Power Consumption (at 3.3V)

  • Peak Transmit: 550mA (BLE off) / 610mA (BLE on)
  • Idle: 200mA peak, 100mA average
  • Power Save: 20μA
  • Deep Sleep: 2.65μA

Certifications

  • FCC (USA), ISED (Canada), CE/RED (Europe), UKCA (UK)
  • PTCRB, AT&T, and Verizon certified
Note: This module does not include a SIM card or data plan. A nano SIM (4FF) with an LTE-M or NB-IoT data plan is required.

Ideal For

  • IoT asset tracking and fleet management
  • Remote environmental and smart sensors
  • Battery-powered cellular devices
  • Low-bandwidth telemetry and monitoring
