Digi International Launches Digi IX40, a 5G Edge Computing Industrial IoT Cellular Solution Purpose-Built for Industry 4.0 - Seite 2

Digi IX40 easily integrates Digi Remote Manager (Digi RM) for rapid configuration, automated security monitoring and simplified management. Digi RM — the cloud-based command center for IoT deployments — gives businesses critical insights into their network operations for more data-driven decisions. Likewise, Digi RM supports secure terminal access for out-of-band management of edge devices via serial ports and a command-line interface.

Key Digi IX40 features include:

• Global 5G and LTE support for public and private cellular networks
• Integrated edge computing capabilities for applications requiring edge intelligence and real-time processing
• The Digi Accelerated Linux operating system (DAL OS)
• Simplified configuration and management with Digi Remote Manager
• FIPS 140-2 validation for encryption of sensitive data
• Ethernet, SFP, serial, I/O and Modbus bridging
• Powerful failover options, including fiber and 4G LTE for ultimate redundancy
• Digi SureLink, VRRP+ and dual SIMs for resilient cellular connectivity
• GNSS receiver supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo
• License-free enterprise software: VPN, firewall, logging and authentication
• Rugged enclosure with DIN rail and shelf mounting options
• FirstNet Capable models to meet the demands of emergency response

“Digi IX40 is a game changer for Industry 4.0,” said Kurduban. “The combination of 5G bandwidth and edge computing makes it possible to process data at the edge before transmitting it to the cloud, which provides cost benefits and real-time response. The higher data rates of 5G enable faster downloads and uploads for data-intensive applications. By providing solutions that combine 5G speed and low latency with reliable wireless connectivity and edge intelligence, we are enabling organizations to deploy applications that require instant interactions, such as autonomous vehicles in manufacturing facilities. Simply put, Digi IX40 empowers enterprises to explore a world of new opportunities.”

Unlike competitors, Digi IX40 is priced reasonably for its advanced features and customized services. “We have packed this solution with powerful computing and edge intelligence, while making it affordable,” said Kurduban. “And Digi IX40 can grow in scale and functionality to meet your needs, with Digi Remote Manager enabling rapid configuration and deployment of additional devices and Digi value added services providing additional capabilities to augment your solution.”
