Overview Part Numbers & Accessories Specifications Resources Product Support

The versatility and performance of Digi® WR54 routers make them ideal for mission critical applications requiring continuous connectivity, field longevity and edge computing. FirstNet Ready™ Digi WR54 provides secure routing and gateway functions across wired and wireless communication networks. Local private subnets are bridged across public networks to safeguard privacy and integrity.

Digi WR54 is available with dual Wi-Fi radios to segment passenger Wi-Fi from fare collection, data, video and other applications, and offers FirstNet Ready™ models with both single and dual cellular modules. FirstNet® is a public/private partnership managed by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce that develops and operates a nationwide first responder network.

Designed to meet the demands of first responders, Digi WR54 includes concurrent and independent dual cellular interfaces that prioritize critical communications. Industrial-grade design supports the most rugged conditions, including vibration and temperature changes. An embedded Python environment also enables quick adaptation to evolving system requirements.

Four Gigabit Ethernet ports connect other IP-capable systems, each configurable as an isolated secure LAN, or all four can function as a Layer 2 switch. Digi TrustFence®, a suite of hardware and firmware features, ensures the integrity of Digi WR54 security functions. A cryptographic co-processor protects particularly sensitive information.
