'By eliminating these hazardous materials we expect to see an increased surge in sales to Europe and other international locations that will soon require products meeting these specifications'.
The RoHS Directive was established by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, requiring that electronics manufacturers not exceed new minimum acceptable levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, polybrominated biphenyl, cadmium and polybrominated diphenyl ether.
RoHS compliant XBee and XBee-Pro OEM RF modules will be available for shipping in the middle of May.
