New industrial network solution Digi IX15 combines gateway and router

By combining a programmable gateway and router, the device provides an alternative to chip-down DIY designs for network operations. The Digi IX15 connects Digi XBee® modules to cloud applications via cellular or Ethernet and provides the easiest path to network connectivity for the Digi XBee ecosystem hardware, software, services and configuration tools.

The router boosts performance in the Digi XBee® ecosystem including modules, code libraries, as well as the Digi XBee® tools suite.  The IX15 features the latest Python programming implementation, bringing greater reliability, simplicity and security to edge computing applications and simplifying all phases of the product development lifecycle.

Certified for use in Class 1 Division 2, with a rugged enclosure and an operating temperature range of -40° C to 74° C, the Digi IX15 is suitable for harsh environments in oil and gas exploration, water/wastewater, solar, agriculture, and other industrial sectors.

The Digi IX15 can be controlled seamlessly with the Digi Remote Manager®. This cloud-based solution enables easy setup, mass configuration, provisioning, maintenance,  monitoring and management of mission-critical devices and assets from a single desktop, tablet or smartphone. In case of a primary network failure, Digi Remote Manager also provides secure terminal access for out-of-band management of edge devices via serial port, as well as a command line interface.

"We are constantly expanding our IoT portfolio with advanced hardware solutions by Digi," said Martin Stiborski, Managing Director of Bressner Technology. "We see the increasing competitive pressure for Industrial IoT and always want to provide our customers with industry-leading connectivity solutions to evolve their network environments. The Digi IX15, with its technological advancements, provides a secure and redundant platform reducing costs as well as increasing project efficiency to ensure a faster time to market."
