5Gstore Now Sells & Support Digi 4G/5G Routers

5Gstore is excited to announce we are now stocking and shipping new products from award winning Digi. Digi has been a pioneer in the M2M/ IoT market for over 30 years. In this time, their products have adapted to evolving network standards, and optimized data communications around the most advanced protocols and emerging technologies. From radio frequency modems to gateways, cellular routers, and networking devices, Digi’s solutions have continually grown to serve the full breadth of applications across the IoT landscape. New products will include: EX12, EX50, IX10, and IX20. 

EX12

We’d like to highlight the EX12 Cellular extender first. This is great for users wanting a failover solution for their small network (i.e. POS systems, ATMs, Kiosks, etc). The EX12 has a built-in, carrier certified Cat4 LTE modem with redundant SIM slots. This allows for an additional failover with the same or different cellular carrier. Deployments are streamlined with installation accessories including an optional Remote Mounting Kit with a disposable battery pack for site survey, mounting bracket and a passive PoE injector for optimizing placement for the best cellular reception. If needed, a serial port for Out of Band management is also available.

EX50

Next, for the power user, we have the EX50, complete with a 5G modem and redundant SIM slots. WiFi support is with the newest, version 6, and Ethernet ports support up to 2.5Gbps. This means users can achieve the full benefits of the cellular bandwidth over wired and wireless connections. Extended temperature range and multiple mounting solutions gives this unit the flexibility to be installed in more industrial environments.

IX10

For a more ruggedized and compact solution, check out the IX10. This router offers low-touch and no-touch provisioning and features a Cat4 LTE modem (with redundant SIM slots) along with a RJ-45 serial port supporting both RS-232 and RS-485. Its flexible power and connectivity options make it a versatile choice for industrial, digital signage, ATMs, kiosks and other unattended retail applications that need to provide secure transactions.

IX10

IX20

Similar to the IX10, but larger and more feature packed, we have the IX20 with or without WiFi. This is available with a FirstNet ready modem and is prepared for any application. Its compact size and rugged hardware give any user a simple, yet advanced option for securing their network and providing automatic failover. The router supports advanced security (stateful firewall, MAC filtering and VPN), cellular redundancy (via Digi SureLink®) and management (SNMP, event logging, analyzer trace and QOS), facilitating use in PCI or NERC-CIP compliant applications.

Digi Remote Manager

For all Digi products you also have access to Remote Management via Digi Remote Manager. Digi RM is a cloud-based solution that facilitates easy setup, mass configuration, maintenance and support, even for thousands of devices. Digi Remote Manager lets you evaluate, update and configure your Digi enterprise routers and gateways — and the health of your network — at scale, after deployment. Digi RM also provides secure, out-of-band management access to Digi units through serial ports and command-line interface.

Digi SureLink

In addition to Digi RM, all of Digi’s cellular products support the Digi SureLink “keep-alive” function. This makes sure the connection will be there when it’s needed. A programmable inactivity timer and a pro-active link integrity function are available. Digi SureLink includes link integrity monitoring, with three test options.

Digi International to Showcase Innovations at CES 2022

Digi International® is a leading global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services. They were recently named a CES® 2022 Innovation Awards honoree in the Smart Cities category and today announced it will showcase new innovations and share expertise at CES 2022 (booth number 10239).

The company plans on showcasing the new Digi EX50 5G cellular router and demonstrating the capabilities of its interactive Digi XBee® Earth Rover robot. It will also highlight its technologies developed to advance precision agriculture. 

Harald Remmert, Digi’s CTO, Cellular Solutions, will be part of the IMC Smart Cities panel on Jan. 6 at 12 p.m. in the CES IoT Infrastructure Pavilion.

“Connectivity has become the foundation of exciting new consumer products and industrial IoT applications that change the way we work, live and communicate,” says Remmert. “For over 35 years, Digi has been at the forefront of this evolution, developing connectivity and remote management solutions, including medical, retail, energy, transportation, agriculture and manufacturing. With CES expanding into new IoT and automation-driven categories, this is the perfect stage to present our innovative solutions and share our expertise and insights.”

Digi’s CES 2022 lineup includes:

  • Digi EX50 5GDigi EX50 has 5G/4G dual connectivity and Wi-Fi 6. It will be a great solution for users who require fast, reliable, and secure primary or backup Internet. Integrating with Digi Remote Manager® and Digi TrustFence,® Digi EX50 5G with the power of 5G future-proofs the network and allows IT staff to easily deploy, monitor, and manage the hardware.
  • Digi TX64 5GDigi TX64 is a high performance, ruggedized 5G router with dual redundant communications for complex transit, transportation and rail systems. This router combines dual 5G and 4G LTE-Advanced Pro cellular technology and dual Wi-Fi radios with enterprise-class routing, security, firewall, and integrated VPN. It also offers flexible connectivity to other onboard systems through USB, serial, Ethernet, dead reckoning GNSS and Bluetooth®.
  • Digi XBee® Earth Rover – CES attendees will have an opportunity to control Digi’s robot via their smartphones. Through the Digi XBee cellular smart module, users can connect to the robot from anywhere in the world through 4G LTE-M cellular networks. Simple text commands move the robot, and sensors on the robot provide data for remote monitoring. In 2022, the Digi XBee Earth Rover will power STEM workshops for middle and high schools, simulating the challenge of communicating and collecting information from NASA’s Mars Rover, and challenging students to explore the tools and find innovative solutions.
  • Precision Agriculture Demonstration – Digi’s demonstration simulates a complete IoT ecosystem for precision agriculture powered by Digi wireless products. This end-to-end solution provides crop managers with real-time weather conditions, which they can use to provide the precise amount of water required for optimal yields, controlling many farms from a central location.

“This is an exciting time for Digi considering the tremendous growth we experienced in 2021,” Remmert says. “In addition to Haxiot and Ctek, Digi acquired Ventus Holdings, a leader in Managed Network-as-a-Service (MNaaS) solutions that simplify the complexity of enterprise wide area network (WAN) connectivity. The acquisition – the largest in Digi’s history – enables us to provide software and subscription service plans and award-winning hardware to supply complete, high-value networking solutions. We envision 2022 to be even more exciting as we grow and expand into new markets.”
