Series 2 modules allow you to create complex mesh networks based on the Xbee ZB ZigBee mesh firmware.

These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between microcontrollers, computers, systems, really anything with a serial port! Point to point and multi-point networks are supported.

These are essentially the same hardware as the older Series 2.5 but have updated firmware.

They will work with Series 2.5 modules if you update the firmware through X-CTU
