The Elecrow Bluetooth Bee is designed for transparent wireless serial connection setup. It is a fully qualified Bluetooth V2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 3Mbps modulation with complete 2.4GHz radio transceiver. It uses CSR Bluecore4-external single chip Bluetooth system with CMOS technology and with AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping). It can be configured to Master, Slave or Loopback three different modes(HC-06 just be Master/Slave, coulud be customized), and it will connect to or be connected by other devices that support SPP protocol per configuration, and it is a suitable substitute for most applications.

This Bluetooth module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP module compatible with existing Xbee sockets, It is the Xbee socket compatible Version of the Bluetooth Shield, in this version, you can add the Bluetooth communication to your Xbee compatible socket easily.
