Digi Launches Stand-Alone Wireless Modem Product Line
Based on Acquired MaxStream(R) Technology, New Products Provide Simple,
Low-Cost Serial And Ethernet Cable Replacement
Digi International (Nasdaq: DGII) today introduced the XTend(TM) and
XStream(TM) radio frequency (RF) modems, and the XPress(TM) Ethernet Bridge.
These stand-alone wireless modems operate within the industrial, scientific and
medical (ISM) radio frequency bands and require no configuration to provide a
reliable wireless link out of the box. Their outstanding receiver sensitivity
provides robust communications even in the presence of interference. The new
wireless modems are based on and compatible with MaxStream's stand-alone radio
modem product line and are complementary to Digi's recently launched Drop-in
Networking solutions that provide device connectivity where wired
infrastructure does not exist or satisfy customer needs.
"We are leveraging the MaxStream acquisition to strengthen and expand our
wireless product offering," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of sales
and marketing, Digi International. "As the leading provider of commercial
grade device networking solutions, we now offer a growing array of wireless
solutions spanning 3G/cellular, Wi-Fi(R), proprietary wireless, and ZigBee(R)
technologies."
Digi's XTend and XStream modems provide reliable serial cable replacement.
The high-performance XTend operates at 900 MHz and can provide up to 40 miles
of range in line-of-sight conditions. The XStream is available in both 900 MHz
and 2.4 GHz models and features up to 20 miles of range in ideal conditions.
All are offered in industrial-grade enclosures providing extended temperature
tolerance and moisture protection. XTend modems are also offered with NEMA 4
rated enclosures for use in areas with heavy and frequent exposure to
moisture. The XTend and XStream families are offered with a five-year
warranty.
Digi's XPress Ethernet Bridge enables customers to easily and wirelessly
connect a data system to an Ethernet network when using a cable is cost
prohibitive or impractical. The XPress Ethernet Bridge operates at 900 MHz and
125 mW of power, providing up to 15 miles line-of-sight range and an RF data
rate of 1.5 Mbps. It also includes a five-year warranty.
The XTend RF modem, XStream RF modem and XPress Ethernet Bridge are now
available. For more information, please visit http://www.digi.com/rfm/ .
