Digi IX30 industrial cellular router

The Digi IX30, an industrial-hardened cellular router solution for harsh environments, provides edge intelligence in a ruggedised design for high levels of flexibility. It is an all-in-one solution for applications including distribution and automation, as well as remote machine and sensor monitoring in industries such as oil and gas production, water utilities, smart cities and outdoor signage.

The product is powered by Digi Remote Manager (Digi RM) and the Digi Accelerated Linux operating system (DAL OS). Digi RM is the command centre of an intelligent network, enabling companies to efficiently configure, deploy, monitor and manage mission-critical devices and assets from a single desktop, tablet or smartphone. DAL OS, along with Digi RM, enables programmability for edge intelligence applications, interoperability for legacy serial devices/protocols and MQTT Sparkplug B. These capabilities deliver critical connectivity between devices and sensors in the Industry 4.0 ecosystem.

Digi has designed its IX product family to meet high-performance requirements in harsh environments with wide temperature ranges. Its Class 1, Division 2 (C1D2) and ATEX certifications make it suitable for environments where potentially explosive gases, vapours, dust or fibres may be present, and its DIN rail mounting design enables easy installation in field containers and cabinets. Digi IX30 has the highest number of analog and digital I/O and serial ports, along with rich protocol support, and offers versatile integration options to manage a large of number of legacy systems from a single piece of equipment.

The product was designed with dual Ethernet ports and GNSS, as well as support for remote sensors with four analog and four digital inputs and outputs. Leveraging its Python programming implementation that provides interoperability with legacy serial devices/protocols, the device brings simplicity and security to edge computing. It delivers fast performance for public, private and hybrid network deployments that support both licensed spectrum and CBRS Band 48 to enable migration between multiple networks in a single SKU; a future variant will include Anterix Band 8 along with Anterix Active certification to offer public and Anterix private cellular network support.
