Digi IX40 5G edge computing IoT router

Digi International has announced the launch of Digi IX40, a 5G edge computing industrial IoT cellular router, purpose-built for Industry 4.0 use cases such as advanced robotics, predictive maintenance, asset monitoring, industrial automation and smart manufacturing.

The Digi IX40 cellular solution supports 5G connectivity and edge intelligence, allowing enterprises to connect multiple machines (wired or wireless) for the integration of cloud-delivered operational technology (OT) services with information technology. Its all-in-one design, computing capabilities and integrated memory also promote real-time data processing, remote monitoring and precision analytics.

The Digi IX40 integrates Digi Remote Manager (Digi RM) cloud-based solution for configuration, automated security monitoring and simplified management. 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), Ethernet, SFP, serial, I/O and Modbus bridging and failover options, including fibre and 4G LTE for redundancy.
