1000
Xbee is a wireless communication module from Maxstream built to the 802.15.4 standard. By default it is configured from the factory to be a wireless serial line replacement. It can be programmed to do other functions like join ZigBee networks or transmit level changes of certain module I/O pins.
There are two flavors of this module: Xbee and Xbee Pro. The pro version has an increased range:
XBee
- Indoor/Urban: up to 100’ (30 m)
- Outdoor line-of-sight: up to 300’ (100 m)
- TX Current: 45 mA (@3.3 V)
- RX Current: 50 mA (@3.3 V)
- Power-down Current: < 10 μA
XBee-PRO
- Indoor/Urban: up to 300’ (100 m)
- Outdoor line-of-sight: up to 1 mile (1500 m
1000 )
- TX Current: 215 mA (@3.3 V)
- RX Current: 55 mA (@3.3 V)
- Power-down Current: < 1

a mini-pcb with 2 10pin 2mm pitch headers. See the datasheet for more info.
Sparkfun Electronics now makes a breakoutboard that converts the 2mm pitch pins into 0.1" pitch pins. They also sell [http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8272 2mm head 1000 er sockets] to use in your projects.
