Case Study: Libelium achieves long-range harsh-environment sensor monitoring with Digi XBee modules

Libelium monitors environments up to 40 km away with Digi

Libelium, a company developing hardware for wireless sensor networks, needed reliable radio frequency modules to transmit data from sensors in isolated or difficult-to-access areas. They required a wireless networking provider that offered both long-range links and the interconnection of networks of different frequencies. To meet this challenge, they partnered with vendor Digi International.

Digi International provided its XBee modules, which Libelium used as the main communication radios in their Waspmote device. This solution delivered long-range links of up to 40 km and the ability to operate reliably in harsh environments. The measurable impact includes enabling efficient water management in agriculture and the detection and prevention of forest fires. Libelium was highly pleased with Digi's reliable products, which met all their project requirements.
