Digi International (Nasdaq: DGII) today introduced the ConnectPort X4, a

cost effective wireless gateway designed to link ZigBee/802.15.4 device

networks with IP networks over cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections. The

ConnectPort X4 is the latest addition to Digi's Drop-in Networking product

line, a combination of hardware components and software tools for

network-enabling commercial grade devices where wired infrastructure does not

exist or does not satisfy customer needs. The multi-function ConnectPort X4

provides ZigBee-to-cellular, ZigBee-to-Wi-Fi or ZigBee-to-Ethernet

connectivity.

"We consider the ConnectPort X4 as the likely workhorse in our ConnectPort

X gateway product line," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global

sales and marketing, Digi International. "It offers customers another option

in addition to our highly versatile ConnectPort X8 gateway, enabling

long-range, end-to-end wireless device networking in a powerful and cost

effective package."

The ConnectPort X4 provides full network flexibility including

ZigBee/802.15.4, cellular, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity. It supports a

broad set of cellular options including HSDPA, Edge, GPRS, 1XRTT and EV-DO. In

addition, the ConnectPort X4 features a USB port for expanded connectivity to

devices like Digi¡|s Watchport(R) camera. A model is also offered that

features an industrial grade NEMA 4/IP66 enclosure with Class 1, Division 2

certification for outdoor applications like tank monitoring, precision

irrigation control and automated metering infrastructure (AMI).

Similar to all ConnectPort X products, the ConnectPort X4 features a native

Python engine for programmability. Python is an object based, open-source

programming language for developing customized controlling applications and can

be adopted and applied by both embedded developers and Web developers alike.

The ConnectPort X4 also includes the Digi Connectware(R) Manager network

management platform which provides a one-to-many interface for network

configuration and maintenance.

The ConnectPort X4 with GPRS cellular capability is available now and lists

for USD499. For more information, please visit
