Digi XBee Delivers Mission-Critical Wireless Mesh Performance Behind the World\u2019s Largest Drone Light Shows<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

HighGreat Technology<\/a>, a pioneer in large-scale aerial entertainment performances, relies on Digi XBee wireless modules with DigiMesh networking to synchronize thousands of LED-equipped drones featured at major civic, cultural, brand, and entertainment events in more than 300 cities around the globe. The breathtaking choreography of thousands of airborne drones, each transmitting real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning data for centimeter-level accuracy, has earned HighGreat multiple Guinness World Records. Most recently, HighGreat showcased their capabilities at an event with a fleet performance of over 15,000 AI-controlled drones.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cEach of our shows requires hundreds or thousands of drones working in perfect harmony,\u201d said Wei Deng of HighGreat Technology. \u201cDigi XBee delivered the low latency, reliability, and scalability we required to achieve complex formations without losing a single packet of data.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHighGreat Technology has built more than 100,000 drones using Digi XBee modules. This deployment demonstrates the scalability and reliability that organizations across industrial automation, agriculture, robotics, renewable energy, oil and gas, and other industries rely on for mission-critical wireless connectivity.<\/p>\n

\nThe drone shows also help replace traditional fireworks with safer, more sustainable “cold fireworks” or even hybrid performances, opening new creative possibilities turning night skies into a dynamic canvas for art, storytelling, and celebration.<\/p>\n

Built for Reliable Performance at Scale<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBehind the spectacle lies advanced network design built on the Digi XBee module with DigiMesh. In flight, drones are configured to conserve bandwidth and minimize latency. On the ground, multiple base stations serve as routing hubs, extending coverage and ensuring consistent data flow. The compact and universal form factor of the Digi XBee module supports drone miniaturization, while its exceptional radio performance and power management make it ideal for scenarios where multiple base stations serve thousands of drones over expansive venues.<\/p>\n

\n“These drone swarms are wireless mesh networks in motion, synchronized with high precision using self-healing DigiMesh technology. This is the bar Digi XBee clears every day,” said Mike Rohrmoser, Vice President of Product Management, OEM Solutions at Digi International. “If it works at scale in the sky, it works on the ground and across industries. That\u2019s why customers trust Digi XBee as the wireless connectivity platform of choice for the most demanding applications.”<\/p>\n

\nThe Digi XBee module family and the DigiMesh networking protocol are designed for applications where wireless connectivity is critical.<\/p>\n
