4 Who is Digi International? The Digi XBee ® Standard ALWAYS CONNECTED Digi International, Inc. (Digi) was formed in 1985—long before anyone coined the term the Internet of Things. We've always focused on connecting things, starting with intelligent multiport serial boards for PCs. As wireless data technologies evolved, we invented right along with it, expanding our product lines with RF modules, gateways, and cellular routers to build critical communications infrastruc- tures, plus embedded wireless system on module (SoM) and single-board computer (SBC) offerings for makers of next generation connected products. PUTTING MACHINES TO WORK Today, Digi goes to work where the machines work. Vast oil fields. Intensive care units. Crowded freeways. Factory floors. Often, in very demanding environments. We connect the millions of sensors, valves, and components that make these critical infrastructures function. Digi provides the essential layer of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications — the remote monitoring and management that critical applications depend on. BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD There's a lot of buzz these days about M2M and the Internet of Things. At Digi, it's all about the Internet of Getting Things Done. Our customers have mission-crit- ical goals to achieve. Budgets to meet. Deadlines to hit. This is machine connectivity with an ROI. Digi puts proven technology to work for our customers so they can light up networks and launch new products. Machine connec- tivity that's relentlessly reliable, secure, scalable, managed—and always comes through when you need it most. That's Digi.
