3G iDigi development kit demonstrates cloud-enabled M2M connectivity
“Many view machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless connectivity to the cloud as something that can only be done with great investment in time, resource and money,” said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing, Digi International. “This is no longer true. Our iDigi Gateway Development Kit demystifies remote M2M wireless connectivity by providing a proof-of-concept experience in less than an hour. And we provide all the sample applications used to generate this experience to get customers started with cloud connecting their own devices.”
The iDigi Gateway Development Kit is designed to make it easy to setup a ZigBee network, upload a custom iDigi Device Integration Application (iDigi Dia) and provide seamless connectivity to the iDigi Device Cloud for Web services integration to standard business applications over the Internet. Using the kit, in no time a user will be able to log into a Google App demo and remotely switch on/off a lamp and monitor its history using wireless Digi technologies.
The iDigi Gateway Development Kit includes the ConnectPort X4 ZigBee-to-3G cellular gateway, Digi XBee Smart Plug, battery-powered XBee temperature/light sensors, Digi ESP Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for iDigi Dia/Python development, and related cables, battery and power supply.
