Industrial router provides rugged, right-sized connectivity to
support industrial infrastructure, critical assets, digital
signage, retail kiosks, and service terminals
HOPKINS, Minn., June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Digi
International®, (NASDAQ: DGII, www.digi.com), a leading global
provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and
services, today launched the Digi IX20, the only industrial router
providing adaptable, right-sized connectivity in industrial
infrastructure, location monitoring, and unattended retail
applications. The Digi IX20 also offers advanced security and
redundancy features for reliable performance in harsh
environments.
The Digi IX20 integrates with Digi Remote Manager®, an IoT
device monitoring application that that provides secure remote
monitoring and control, enables automated firmware and software
updates, and brings simple, comprehensive management of intelligent
routers. This application unlocks the full potential of the IX20
both by simplifying the road to data-driven insights and the
performance of the router itself, including uptime and failover
(Digi SureLink®) and security (Digi TrustFence®) features.
Digi IX20 uses Digi CORE® plug-in modems that provide
user-selectable connectivity while maintaining the ability to
change or upgrade connectivity protocols without replacing the
router. Meanwhile, its serial interface easily fits into most
deployments without requiring a redesign.
Digi IX20 is a versatile router with features to supports a wide
range of applications and use cases from critical industrial
monitoring to self-service retail kiosks. Key features include:
- Manageability – With Digi Remote Manager, a
comprehensive compliance and security management application that
provides centralized device management. It supports easy setup,
mass configuration, control, and maintenance from a single pane of
glass. It provides real-time view of network and device health and
compliance, sending notifications when an alert is triggered,
diagnosing and potentially repairing remote devices without the
need to deploy a technician. Digi Remote Manager brings an
increased ease of use and high level of product and network
understanding unlocking the full potential of the Digi IX20.
- Reliability – In addition to dual SIMs for failover,
Digi SureLink maintains cellular connections under adverse
conditions, provides reliable uptime for mission-critical
applications. Smart load balancing between cellular and Ethernet
WANs, dual APNs, and configurable APN search simplify deployment
and reduce setup time.
- Flexibility – The Digi IX20 offers optional Wi-Fi with
serial RS-232 (DB9), Ethernet, and cellular LTE CAT-4 connectivity.
Customers can add their own edge compute algorithms with Python
support and native Linux applications.
- Security – The integrated Digi TrustFence security
framework combines secure boot, protected hardware ports, and
secure connections with the latest encryption protocols.
- Ruggedness – Whether in the factory, oilfield, or
outdoor digital signage, the Digi IX20 operates in a wide range of
temperatures and is built to withstand the harshest environments.
Digi's new router is rated IP30 and has been tested for operation
in -40F to +158F (-40C to +70C).
"Industrial IoT applications and unattended retail operations
continue to be a priority for Digi," said Brian Kirkendall, Vice President, Product
Management at Digi International. "We remain focused on solutions
that bring flexibility, reliability, and security. The IX20 extends
that commitment with an industrial-grade router that offers
multiple connectivity paths, a secure OS, and edge
intelligence."
