Digi International has introduced the Digi TransPort WR44 with Gobi, a cellular router with Qualcomm Gobi technology. Gobi technology supports either High Speed Packet Access or Evolution-Data Optimised networks from the same cellular radio. This means the device can connect to virtually any cellular network in the world. Customers can now develop one solution for use in multiple regions to reduce cost and improve efficiency. It also minimises risk by allowing customers to support a different standard in the future than initially selected.
The device is an all-in-one enterprise class cellular router with an integrated WiFi access point. The multi-function device provides high-speed connectivity to remote devices by combining a 3G cellular router, high security, advanced routing, an Ethernet switch, global positioning system, telemetry and WiFi access point in one device. This advanced combination of enterprise class features and flexible wireless functionality makes the router suitable for connecting remote devices in vertical applications such as transportation, remote office and retail point-of-sale.
