XBee Shield is an enhanced Zigbee XBee Series modules breakout board for Arduino, it can directly plug in with Arduino, and use any pin of the basic board to connect with the XBee, Zigbee RF or bBee Bluetooth module available separately.

 The XBee Shield simplifies the task of interfacing an XBee with your Arduino. This board mates directly with an Arduino Pro or USB board, and equips it with wireless communication capabilities using the popular XBee module.

 This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2 (and 2.5), standard and Pro version and bBee bluetooth module. (not included)
