Digi ConnectCore MP13

Digi ConnectCore MP13 is the newest member of the Digi ConnectCore MP1 family of wireless system-on-modules (SOMs) designed for longevity, scalability and demanding product lifecycles.

A compact, wireless and secure system-on-module based on the STMicroelectronics STM32MP133C MPU, Digi ConnectCore MP13 is among the industry’s smallest SOMs with pre-certified Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2.

This solution delivers cost-effective, flexible and reliable connectivity for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking to reduce risk and product development efforts, while accelerating overall time-to-market of applications for the medical, smart energy and industrial sectors.

Digi ConnectCore 93

The wireless and highly power-efficient Digi ConnectCore 93 wireless SOM platform is designed for a wide range of medical, industrial, smart energy, transportation and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Based on the new NXP i.MX 93 processor, Digi ConnectCore 93 is an integrated SOM platform that integrates Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for industrial and commercial applications, designed to simplify the development of embedded products by incorporating the latest technology as well as complete lifecycle management with Digi ConnectCore Cloud Services.

Digi ConnectCore cloud services

Digi ConnectCore Cloud Services offer a single-source, subscription-based service that integrates software with a cloud platform to enable developers designing embedded products with ConnectCore SOMs to transform their products into connected devices.

This service provides a simple and cost-effective solution to streamline the maintenance and management of field-deployed devices – enabling remote monitoring of device health and delivering secure, over-the-air (OTA) updates.

Digi XBee 3 family expansion

Digi XBee 3 Global Cellular LTE Cat 1 and Digi XBee 3 Global Cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT smart modems deliver the power and flexibility of the renowned Digi XBee ecosystem and are pre-certified for global cellular deployments to accelerate development times and eliminate the costs associated with carrier certification processes.

Supporting LTE Cat 1, LTE-M and NB-IoT networks, with 2G/3G fallback and GNSS positioning, the newest members of the Digi XBee 3 Global family are ideal for applications that require reliable cellular connectivity across the globe, and support low-power applications such as smart sensors, asset tracking and other fixed assets that send small portions of data.

Digi XBee XR 868

The Digi XBee XR 868 module is a compact and reliable solution supporting deployment of long-range connectivity applications in the European region. The module supports both point-to-point and mesh networking protocols, with a line-of-sight range of over 14 kilometres. It is well suited for agriculture and energy applications where long-distance communication is required.

Digi XBee studio

Digi XBee Studio delivers a complete suite of tools for performing critical tasks that help manage and update Digi XBee devices and networks wirelessly.

“We are delighted to be unveiling a host of new products and solutions at embedded world,” said Andreas Burghart, Senior Product Manager at Digi. “From the latest additions to our Digi ConnectCore SOMs to our innovative Digi XBee 3 smart modules, we are proud to continue our tradition of delivering and collaborating on cost-effective, embedded IoT solutions that empower our customers to drive digital transformation and achieve their business goals.”

At embedded world, Digi will be conducting a variety of engaging live demonstrations of its technology in action.

Show demonstrations taking place at Digi’s booth include:

EV charging solutions

In collaboration with Versinetics, Digi has created a simulated EV charging station and will showcase how Digi ConnectCore System-on-Modules provide control, management and display capabilities.

Digi XBee sensor lab

An engaging demonstration of an edge-to-cloud sensing solution, simulating smart sensors in different environments, the XBee Sensor Lab allows attendees to get hands-on with sensors and see the data changing on a dynamic display in real time – processing and transmitting data over the Cat 4 LTE-M cellular network with Digi’s new XBee 3 Global Cellular modules.

Digi XBots

Demonstrating the value of remote sensing and control over LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) cellular networks, Digi XBots are small, wheeled robots that take smart sensing mobile with the XBee 3 Global Cellular modules.

This demonstration allows attendees to send the robots commands via SMS texts – controlling the robots and receiving environmental and location data.

Connected develpment kits

Digi will showcase the innovative ConnectCore Cloud Services connecting development kits for their new products, the Digi ConnectCore MP13, ConnectCore MP15 and ConnectCore 93.

These demos show how Cloud Services can provide remote monitoring, control, and secure OTA software updates for connected devices. Also showing, the graphics capabilities of SOMs with example software from Qt and Crank Ametek.

Digi's latest embedded IoT technologies are enhancing the way in which individuals, machines, and processes interact, thanks to the support of Digi Remote Manager, the intelligent network's command centre.

These technologies rely on network connectivity as the cornerstone for unlocking their full potential, positioning Digi as a specialist provider of advanced networking solutions that integrate software, hardware, and services for enterprises.
