Xbee Series 2B connection with various antenna types

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
#1

I have Xbee Series 2B Pro with Wire Antenna

To be exact : Xbee Series 2 Pro Wire Antenna Modules XBP24 BZ7WIT 004

Can Xbee Series 2B interconnect with different antenna types.

So if i get a Xbee Series 2B with Chip/U.FL/RPSMA Antenna can my Wire Antenna Xbee's communicate with them.

Also can Xbee Series 2B Normal communicate with Xbee Series 2 Pro.

Can Xbee Series 2B interconnect with different antenna types.

Yes. The antenna type dictates range, not what devices the radio can communicate with.

Also can Xbee Series 2B Normal communicate with Xbee Series 2 Pro.

Yes. The Pro models are just higher-powered (larger range) versions of the same device.

However, it doesn’t really make sense to mix antenna types and power levels in the same network. The lowest power/lowest range device will dictate the spacing required in your network.
