Digi International launches industrial 5G router with AI management
Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) announced the launch of its Digi IX25 industrial cellular router platform, designed for critical networking infrastructure applications. The device will be available for purchase beginning March 31, 2026, through the company's global sales channels.
The router consolidates networking, compute, and connectivity functions into a single platform featuring four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. The device operates in temperatures from -40°C to +75°C and supports certifications including C1D2, ATEX, E-Mark, and MIL-STD-810H for industrial environments.
The IX25 supports LTE, 5G RedCap, and 5G eMBB connectivity across multiple configurations built on unified hardware architecture. The platform uses Western cellular modules and supports TAA-compliant deployments for government and critical infrastructure applications.
The router includes native support for private LTE and 5G networks, with spectrum compatibility for Anterix, CBRS, and FirstNet bands. Edge computing capabilities are enabled through a quad-core processor supporting Linux containers for applications including SCADA integration and telemetry processing.
The device features GSMA SGP.32-compliant eSIM support with pre-loaded bootstrap connectivity for zero-touch provisioning and remote carrier management. Management occurs through Digi Remote Manager, a SOC 2 Type 2 compliant platform for device provisioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
"Digi IX25 is our answer to what industrial customers have been asking for: one rugged solution that delivers 5G connectivity, integrated edge computing, eSIM with live connectivity out of the box for true zero-touch provisioning," said Tony Puopolo, President of Digi Managed Solutions.
The management platform recently launched an MCP server enabling natural language queries for device fleets and workflow automation. Organizations can access fully managed deployments through Digi's Ventus program, which includes hardware, cellular data, NOC/SOC services, and lifecycle management.
