Digi International Launches Digi IX25 – Rugged TAA-Compliant Industrial 5G Router with Active eSIM, Edge Compute and AI-Driven Operations

Key Terms

5g redcap technical

A 5G RedCap (short for “reduced capability”) is a streamlined version of 5G cellular technology designed for lower-cost, lower-power devices such as wearables, sensors, and simple IoT gadgets. It trims advanced features to make chips and modems cheaper and batteries last longer, like an economy-class seat that still gets you to the destination. For investors, RedCap can expand the addressable market for device makers and carriers by enabling mass adoption of connected products while shifting revenue and cost dynamics across the 5G ecosystem.

5g embb technical

5G eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband) is the 5G network capability that delivers much faster mobile internet speeds, greater capacity, and lower delay for data‑heavy uses such as high‑definition video, virtual reality, and crowded venues. For investors, eMBB matters because it expands demand for network equipment, chips, devices and data services—think of it as widening and repaving a highway so many more fast cars can travel without traffic jams, creating revenue opportunities across the tech and telecom supply chain.

taa-compliant regulatory

TAA-compliant means a product or service meets the Trade Agreements Act rules for U.S. government buying: it is made in, or substantially transformed in, the United States or in one of the countries approved under the law. For investors, TAA compliance is like having a certified passport that lets a company sell into federal procurement channels and compete for government contracts, which can open a steady revenue stream and reduce sales barriers to large public-sector customers.

esim technical

An esim is a small, built-in electronic SIM card inside a phone, tablet or connected device that stores mobile network credentials digitally instead of using a removable plastic card. For investors it matters because it changes how carriers sell and manage subscriptions, lowers logistics costs for device makers, enables easier switching between networks or plans (including global roaming), and expands opportunities in Internet-of-Things connectivity and recurring revenue services.

atex technical

ATEX is a set of European safety rules for equipment and systems used where explosive gases, vapors or dust can form, requiring manufacturers and workplaces to reduce ignition risks. For investors it matters because compliance determines whether products can be legally sold or used in many industrial markets, affecting revenue, manufacturing costs, liabilities and market access — similar to a mandatory safety inspection that must be passed before a vehicle can be driven on public roads.

cbrs technical

Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is a band of radio spectrum that regulators set aside for flexible, shared use by wireless carriers, businesses, and private networks. Think of it as a set of highway lanes that can be rented or shared rather than owned outright; access to those lanes can lower costs, speed deployment of wireless services, and create new revenue opportunities. Investors watch CBRS because changes in access, device support, or commercial adoption can directly affect telecom operators, equipment makers, and companies building private networks.

scada technical

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a computerized system that monitors and controls industrial equipment and infrastructure—think of it as a remote brain that collects sensor data and sends commands to pumps, valves, power grids, or factory machines. Investors watch SCADA because it affects operational reliability, safety, and cost: failures or cyberattacks can cause outages and fines, while efficient SCADA systems can boost productivity and reduce maintenance and capital expenses.

Single platform unifies LTE, 5G RedCap, and 5G eMBB with four Ethernet ports, edge computing, and AI-driven management through Digi Remote Manager

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII, www.digi.com), a leading global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, today announced the launch of Digi IX25, a next-generation industrial cellular router platform designed to deliver secure, scalable connectivity for critical networking infrastructure.

Digi International Launches Digi IX25 – Rugged TAA-Compliant Industrial 5G Router with Active eSIM, Edge Compute and AI-Driven Operations

Industrial and enterprise IT and operational technology teams face persistent challenges when deploying cellular connectivity at scale. Field cabinets and kiosks often lack space for multiple networking devices. Industrial environments require hardware that can withstand extreme temperatures and hazardous conditions. At the same time, organizations must meet evolving compliance requirements and prepare for private LTE and 5G networks.

Digi IX25 addresses these challenges with a single rugged platform that consolidates networking, compute, and secure connectivity into one device. Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports eliminate the need for external switches in field cabinets and kiosks, reducing installation complexity, cost, and potential failure points.

“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 (bootstrap) connectivity out of the box for true zero-touch provisioning, and a lifecycle designed for long-term industrial deployments from an American company,” said Tony Puopolo, President, Digi Managed Solutions.

“It’s TAA-compliant with Western cellular modules, purpose-built for secure networking, and fully integrated with Digi Remote Manager so organizations can proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize networks at scale. Digi IX25 offers customers the flexibility to get the right solution for their deployment environment, budget, and performance requirements. Another industry first is that we can pair any IX25 variant with Digi’s managed service plans, through our Digi Ventus integrator program, for fully supported, end-to-end network operations and connectivity. At Digi, we make connectivity simple, secure and reliable and IX25 is a perfect addition for our customers.”

Built for Harsh Environments and Critical Infrastructure

Digi IX25 is engineered for demanding industrial applications such as utilities and oil and gas deployments, operating from -40 °C to +75 °C and supporting certifications including C1D2, ATEX, E-Mark, and MIL-STD-810H. The platform uses Western cellular modules and supports TAA-compliant deployments, helping government agencies and critical infrastructure operators meet evolving procurement and supply chain security requirements.

The router platform supports LTE, 5G RedCap, and 5G eMBB across multiple SKUs built on a unified hardware architecture. This allows organizations to standardize on a single platform while maintaining flexibility as cellular networks evolve. An extended lifecycle commitment supports long-term infrastructure deployments common in utilities and industrial operations.

Digi IX25 is also purpose-built for private LTE and 5G networks, with native support for spectrum from Anterix as well as CBRS and FirstNet bands. This enables utilities and infrastructure operators to deploy secure private wireless networks without relying solely on public carrier connectivity.

Edge Computing for Industrial IoT

At the network edge, Digi IX25 features a quad core processor and integrated resources to support Linux containers for applications such as SCADA integration, telemetry processing, and edge analytics. Organizations can run platforms such as AWS IoT Greengrass, Microsoft Azure IoT, and custom applications directly on the router, reducing latency and bandwidth consumption while enabling faster decision-making in mission-critical environments.

Operational flexibility is further enhanced through GSMA SGP.32-compliant eSIM support with live bootstrap pre-loaded, enabling zero-touch provisioning, remote carrier provisioning and multi-carrier management without physical SIM swaps.
