Digi

Digi International is a leading global provider of IoT connectivity products, services, and embedded system-on-module (SOM) solutions. It helps companies create next-generation connected products and deploy and manage devices in demanding environments with high levels of security and reliability.

Since 1985, Digi has been a pioneer in wireless communication, forging the future for connected devices and responding to the needs of the people and enterprises that use them.

The Digi ConnectCore SOM solution provides a highly integrated hardware and software platform including wireless communication capabilities. Designed for rapid development and time-to-market they come with a full suite of tools and resources for scalability and ease of maintenance.

With robust, industrial grade hardware, integrated Digi TrustFence® security, the fully validated Digi Embedded Yocto Linux operating system and device management tools, Digi’s embedded solutions reduce the total cost of ownership and help catapult OEMs to market success.

Digi TrustFence®

All Digi ConnectCore SOMs incorporate Digi TrustFence®, a complete embedded security environment that OEMs can use to design security features into their products from the ground up. Regardless of an organization’s size, resources or security knowledge, developers can rely on Digi TrustFence for built-in security — without the cost and time needed to design from scratch. Digi TrustFence security features including Secure Boot, file system encryption, tamper detection, secure firmware updates and protected hardware ports, are fully implemented and ready to use, with complete documentation and step by step instructions.

Power Efficient

Low-power capabilities of Digi ConnectCore SOMs let developers optimize the power-consumption profile to fit their application needs. Digi ConnectCore SOMs offer best-in-class power management. They can operate in multiple power modes to minimize power consumption, which is especially important for battery powered devices. Digi Microcontroller Assist™ (MCA) gives users greater control of power levels.

Industrial Reliability

With an extended product warranty, Digi’s commitment to reliability and longevity is second to none. Digi ConnectCore SOMs are built exclusively with industrial-grade components and undergo rigorous thermal and shock testing to ensure that they can withstand harsh outdoor environments and temperature extremes of -40 to +85 C. Digi SOMs are duty-rated for continuous use — 24/7/365 — and designed for 10-year longevity, an especially important consideration for medical and industrial applications with lengthy regulatory approval cycles. Digi also provides support throughout the entire product lifecycle. Whenever there is a component change, Digi qualifies new components and updates the applicable software to support new features and functionality.

Wireless

Digi ConnectCore SOMs are pre-certified for global deployment, streamlining the country-by-country certification process for wireless products, which can often be lengthy and expensive. OEMs can reduce their development costs and realize a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) by leveraging this pre-certified wireless connectivity, as well as achieving faster time-to-market. All Digi SOMs have both a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth option on-board and are fully integrated with Digi XBee modules. Digi XBee modules support leading IoT standards like LTE cellular, mesh networking and long-range sub-GHz wireless connectivity.

Scalability

The range of compatible Digi ConnectCore products allows OEMs to future proof their designs while controlling manufacturing costs. If an application evolves and requires more processing power, developers can simply drop in a higher performance, footprint compatible, Digi ConnectCore module. The Digi ConnectCore Smart IOmux tool expedites the design process and ensures compatibility across SOM families.
