Digi International's Flagship Embedded Connectivity Product
Line Provides the Hardware and Software to Create a Complete
Networking Solution that Accelerates IoT Projects from Inception to
Reality
MINNEAPOLIS, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Digi
International®, (NASDAQ: DGII) (www.digi.com), a leading global
provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and
services, today announced that it has shipped more than 15 million
Digi XBee® units and marked the milestone by unveiling a suite of
new software and development tools for the Digi XBee Ecosystem.
These tools enhance the existing Digi XBee product family by
enabling users to more easily develop, manufacture, deploy and
manage industrial IoT solutions, accelerating their time-to-market
while reducing risk and development cost.
Digi XBee is a cornerstone of IoT innovation with a complete
portfolio of wireless modules, gateways, adapters, software and
device management tools, all engineered to provide edge
intelligence and accelerate wireless development of applications
for global deployments. The Digi XBee Ecosystem delivers a complete
end-to-end development solution and extends Digi's position as a
leading provider of IoT hardware and software.
"With this rollout, developers will see increased value across
the entire Digi XBee Ecosystem," said Mark
Tekippe, Director of Product Management, Digi International.
"Digi XBee tools support every phase of the IoT product lifecycle
from initial development and testing, through manufacturing,
large-scale deployment and network management."
Development
1. MicroPython
Programmability: The entire Digi XBee® 3 family now comes with
MicroPython programmability for simple, smart edge capabilities.
This enables developers to rapidly add edge intelligence to their
product and offload or eliminate the need for a host
microcontroller in simple applications.
2. Digi XBee
Interface Board (XBIB-C): This upgraded full-feature
development board is primed for rapid prototyping and development
and includes on-board sensors, current monitoring pins, a Grove
connector for interfacing with hundreds of third-party sensors and
support for USB Direct Mode (Digi XBee Cellular).
3. Digi XBee GPS
Daughter Board: A complete hardware and software reference
design, this board enables developers to quickly evaluate and add
GPS technology to Digi XBee projects.
4. Digi XBee
Plug-In for PyCharm IDE: This software plug-in streamlines
MicroPython development on XBee with a leading Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) for professional developers. It
includes a simplified programming workflow, code completion and
integrated support for Digi XBee APIs, libraries and code
examples.
Manufacturing
5. Digi XBee Multi
Programmer: An automated batch programmer and
configuration tool built with easy-to-use software for high
throughput, this device enables the fast, automated programming of
Digi XBee modules complete with firmware, configuration parameters
and MicroPython code. It is capable of concurrently programming up
to six Digi XBee modules at once and the technician can connect
additional Multi Programmers to program 12 or more modules at
once.
Deployment
6. Digi XBee
Network Assistant: A Windows application designed to
simplify XBee network installation, provisioning, site-surveys and
network management, the Network Assistant includes powerful network
visualization features, including the ability to geolocate devices
on a map or custom floor plan and display real-time link quality
between devices.
7. Digi XBee3 USB
Adapter: The Adapter enables connectivity between a laptop
or other USB-enabled device and a local XBee network to simplify
development, deployment, configuration and diagnostics. It supports
2.4 GHz XBee networks (Zigbee, 802.15.4, DigiMesh) and is intended
for use with Digi XBee Network Assistant or Digi XBee Configuration
and Test Utility (XCTU), a Windows-, OS- and Linux-compatible
configuration platform for Digi XBee devices.
8. Digi XBee
Mobile App: Available for iOS and Android, this
Bluetooth-based utility allows secure, wireless configuration of
Digi XBee 3 modules from a mobile device.
Network Management
9. Digi Remote
Manager®: Digi XBee Cellular modems now integrate with
Digi Remote Manager (DRM), a comprehensive IoT device monitoring
application for secure asset monitoring and control. DRM allows
administrators to view remote devices, perform mass updates, gain
access to data from edge devices and receive real-time alerts on
network health and device conditions.
