‘Intelligent edge’ cellular IoT router for critical assets
The Digi IX14 is designed to address the needs of users seeking affordable, low-bandwidth, single asset applications such as those in critical infrastructure, industrial, retail, and digital signage markets. It includes a one-year subscription to the company’s Remote Manager service platform that allows users to remotely monitor, update, and manage Digi intelligent routers over LTE networks.
“The next generation of industrial connectivity is not just about hardware, but also provides insights into operational efficiency and security,” says Scott Nelson, vice president, products, Digi International. “Whether an outdoor digital signage company, a financial services organization with a distributed network of outdoor ATMs, or a utilities operator that needs data communication with remote SCADA sites, Digi IX14 provides outstanding connectivity along with in-depth device and network understanding through tight integration with Digi Remote Manager.”
The Digi IX14 offers advanced scripting and customizable business logic via open source Python 3.6 giving it edge computing capabilities to execute operations at the device level, while the Digi Remote Manager and Bluetooth capabilities enable quick, secure, reliable installations. Other features include an Ethernet and serial port, which can link to a single essential IoT sensor or connect to a network of sensors, and dual SIM slots that allow carrier flexibility and failover for reduced downtime.
The Digi IX14 contains an LTE modem capable of 3G fallback for North America, and a soon-to-be-released version will support 3G/2G fallback for Europe. Digi IX14 has also been physically hardened to withstand extreme environmental conditions with MIL-STD-810G certification for shock, vibration, and temperature, and an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
Digi IX14 is the first product launched under Digi International’s new router naming system: the IX series of routers caters to industrial uses while EX and TX products are for enterprise and transportation applications, respectively.
