Digi 5G Products

Digi is delivering 5G! We are excited about the capabilities our customers will be able to tap into with 5G deployments, and the many new possibilities that it will ultimately enable – from the most advanced Industry 4.0 applications to full implementation of connected vehicle technology to practical applications for augmented and virtual reality in the science, industry and medical realms.

We are constantly driving forward. Our goal is to ensure that customers who have applications that require the speed and low latency of 5G have a roadmap and migration path. And for customers who can achieve the performance they need with 4G LTE and Gigabit-class LTE, Digi is firmly committed to supporting these customers in optimizing and future-proofing their investment.

There is no single solution that meets all application requirements. And that is why Digi supports the full breadth of customer needs – from those who want longevity from their current deployments to those who are ready for what's next.
 

5G Product Innovation at Digi

In addition to development teams that are focusing on new product introduction, Digi has established an advanced technology innovation team to investigate 5G and other new technologies. They delve into many aspects of 5G that appear in our new products, such as new cellular modem capabilities, new antenna types, and cellular router form factors.

Our roadmap includes both new ground-up products as well as adaptations of award-winning products that our customers love, such as our modular routers with change-able Digi CORE® modules. 

In this blog post, we will take a spin through Digi's 5G products as well as our 5G-ready products, to help you assess the right solution for your requirements.

Enabling the 5G Future, Starting Today

Today, 4G LTE is still growing, and will be going strong for at least a decade to come. Fortunately, it provides excellent speed and bandwidth to support most IoT applications today. LTE and 5G networks will co-exist, as applications begin to migrate and then 5G networks and applications eventually supersede 4G LTE. 

It’s not surprising that the first 5G products are the high-bandwidth, high-speed products. Today, 5G technology is still very expensive compared to LTE. As prices come down, we’ll roll-out 5G cellular solutions across our product line. In the meantime, our LTE cellular solutions continue to have the best total cost of ownership for many of our customers.
 
We’re also keeping an eye on 5G infrastructure build-out. Carriers are making quick progress on 5G networks in urban areas. 5G is well-suited for dense urban areas, especially for the fastest variant of 5G, called mmWave, which has much shorter range capability than LTE. You’ll likely see 5G towers every few blocks, to accommodate the shorter, faster variants of 5G. Questions still remain on the feasibility of bringing this technology to suburban and rural areas.
 
What does this challenge for rural areas mean for our customers? Digi customers with locations in rural areas, such as utilities, industrial equipment monitoring, and retail in small towns, can anticipate 4G LTE will continue to be a mainstay for years to come.
 
The future of 5G is bright and Digi is excited to bring new 5G products to market. We’re committed to building quality solutions and offering cutting edge services to enable our customers’ business development and innovations, for today and into the future.

Contact us for your current and future IoT needs, whether you are migrating from 2G/3G to 4G LTE or planning your 5G application.
