The ConnectPort X5 R offers the industry’s smallest Quint- Mode (cellular, satellite, GPS, Wi-Fi, Vehicle Area Network) wireless telematics product. The gateway provides remote connectivity to mobile assets to monitor operating health, performance, location and driver/operator behavior, as well as to enable automated event reporting.
iDigi Manager Pro is a feature of all Digi cellular gateways, routers, devices and components. iDigi Manager Pro provides a robust suite of network management tools including authentication, configuration management, account management, asynchronous updates and alerts, group and individual software updating, network data storage and gateway programming.
iDigi Manager Pro empowers IT, network operations and customer support organizations to conquer the challenges of managing the vast array of cellular equipment in their device networks. Network managers can remotely configure, upgrade, monitor and troubleshoot remote devices, and create applications that improve productivity, speed and efficiency.
The ConnectPort X5 R supports Vehicle Area Networks (VANs) with Digi’s industry leading XBee(R) 802.15.4/ZigBee or Point-to-Multipoint 2.4 GHz radio technology.
The ConnectPort X5 R offers cellular, Wi-Fi and satellite for flexible WAN connectivity. Cellular provides instant/always-on communications, while Wi-Fi provides a cost-effective way to transfer large files, firmware or logs across “low-cost” secure public or private networks. The ConnectPort X5 R Wi-Fi functionality can also be used to wirelessly connect peripheral devices such as vehicle displays and handhelds.
