IX15 IoT Gateway and Cellular Router
Programmable IoT gateway
Digi XBee-enabled devices to remote applications over cellular and Ethernet
Programmable IoT gateway connects Digi XBee-enabled devices to remote applications over cellular and Ethernet.
The versatile Digi IX15 device functions as both gateway and router for customers seeking lower-cost, quicker-to-market alternatives to chip-down DIY designs for networking operations. Digi IX15 is an industrial-grade IoT gateway that connects Digi XBee® modules to cloud applications over cellular or Ethernet, providing the easiest path to Internet connectivity for the Digi XBee Ecosystem of hardware, software, services, and award-winning tools.
With certification for Class 1 Division 2 deployment and rugged enclosure, Digi IX15 is ideal for the harsh environments found in oil and gas, water/wastewater, solar, agriculture, and other industrial applications. For developers needing a highly secure, common platform to cut costs and time-to-market, Digi IX15 reduces risk and drives project efficiencies.
The Digi IX15 IoT gateway includes a simple, open-source Python development environment that enables custom applications to perform edge computing locally while providing the most optimal, resilient connectivity between your XBee network and cloud-based applications.
Gain critical insights into your deployed devices and manage your network with Digi Remote Manager (Digi RM) — the command center for your deployment. Digi RM is a cloud-based solution that facilitates easy setup, mass configuration, maintenance, and visibility into the health of your network, whether you deploy dozens or thousands of devices.
In the event of an interruption to your primary network connection, Digi RM also provides secure terminal access for out-of-band management of edge devices via serial port and command-line interface.
