Xbee Serial Port Radio Link

Using AdaFruit Xbee carrier boards, you can add an Xbee radio link to the router. The radios I am using are rated for maximum distance of 300 feet and cost around $20, however, you can upgrade the radios and there are some that go 1 mile, but cost twice as much. SparkFun electronics has a greater inventory of radios.

What you will need:

2 Xbee radios(http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=128)

2 Xbee carrier boards(http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=126)

1 USB FTDI cable(http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=70)
