MINNETONKA, Minn. (Feb. 26, 2013) – Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII)
today launched an enhanced version of its XBeeŽ Wi-Fi™ embedded
module. The low-power module enables serial-to-Wi-Fi networking
in the popular XBee form factor and now features native iDigi Device
Cloud integration, a Soft Access Point (AP) interface and Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) for easy device provisioning and
maintenance.
“Because of its ease of use, popular form factor and native iDigi Device Cloud connectivity, the next-generation XBee Wi-Fi can dramatically accelerate the growth of Wi-Fi in connected machines,” said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of marketing, Digi International. “With native iDigi Device Cloud connectivity and the power and simplicity of XBee, building a connected, remotely supported product is incredibly easy. Device data is made available for easy application integration or creation, while remote configuration and firmware downloads insure cost-effective post-sales support.”
Native iDigi Device Cloud connectivity allows customers to easily integrate their Wi-Fi devices into cloud-based applications for data acquisition and critical device management, including remote configuration and firmware upgrades. With the Soft AP interface, XBee Wi-Fi modules appear as access points. This allows customers to connect to and provision devices like thermostats or scales that often do not have an LCD screen or keyboard interface from a laptop or smart phone. Wi-Fi Protected Setup is another way to add XBee Wi-Fi modules to a network, via a simple push-button method.
Ideal for industrial monitoring, asset tracking, home automation and
tank monitoring, the XBee Wi-Fi offers secure 802.11 b/g/n
networking. The module features UART and Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI), which optimizes integration with embedded
micro-controllers. The XBee Wi-Fi is available in both
through-hole and surface mount (SMT) form-factors, providing tremendous
flexibility in design. This lowers development cost and shortens
time to market.
[an error occurred while processing this directive] XBee products are easy to use and share a common hardware footprint. Available in a variety of protocols for different applications, one XBee can be substituted for another with minimal development time or risk. XBee modules are pre-certified for use in multiple countries.
The next-generation XBee Wi-Fi will be available in April 2013. For more information, visit www.digi.com. For more
