Digi has unveiled the IX25, a powerful rugged 5G cellular platform designed to deliver secure, reliable connectivity for mission-critical industrial and enterprise applications. Built for demanding environments, the IX25 combines high-performance cellular networking with integrated edge computing capabilities, enabling your customers to process, analyse, and integrate distributed data directly at the network edge.
The IX25 family is available in three connectivity variants, giving partners and your customers the flexibility to select the right option for specific deployment requirements. Whether you’re positioning this for critical infrastructure modernisation or new distributed operations at scale, the Digi IX25 5G edge router delivers the connectivity flexibility and operational reliability your customers demand.
Core Features
Flexible 5G, RedCap, and LTE connectivity options
Your customers can choose the right cellular technology for their deployment. Full 5G eMBB delivers high-bandwidth performance, 5G RedCap provides right-sized performance with lower power consumption, and LTE Cat 4 ensures long-term support as networks evolve.
The IX25 includes dual nano-SIM slots plus Digi eSIM with eUICC (SGP.32), enabling carrier diversity, redundancy, and remote carrier switching without physical intervention. This is essential for multi-geography deployments, ensuring your customers’ networks stay connected even when carrier coverage or pricing changes.
Industrial-grade design for demanding environments
The IX25 features a rugged ABS/PC blend enclosure rated IP30, engineered to operate reliably in harsh conditions. It includes DIN-rail and shelf-mount options, supporting both fixed and mobile deployments. The device delivers reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range: –40 °C to 75 °C for standard models and –20 °C to 65 °C for WiFi-enabled variants.
Integrated edge computing
Your customers can run applications and analytics locally on the device with Digi Containers, reducing latency and minimising cloud dependency.
This enables faster decision-making in distributed environments and supports real-time data processing directly at customer sites.
Flexible integration and connectivity
Four Gigabit Ethernet ports (switchable WAN/LAN), serial, I/O, GNSS, and optional WiFi 6E enable seamless integration with legacy systems, modern IT infrastructure, and local wireless connectivity. This flexibility makes it simple to deploy across multi-site customer environments and supports convergence between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).
Enterprise-grade security and compliance
FIPS 140-3 certified security, SOC 2 Type 2-compliant Digi Remote Manager, and the Digi TrustFence security framework deliver unified, auditable security from device to cloud.
Support for private 5G networks ensures compatibility with critical infrastructure.
Operational Resilience and Management
Resilient multi-connection failover
For customers requiring always-on connectivity, optional Digi WAN Bonding combines multiple connections into a seamless, resilient solution. When paired with SureLink, the IX25 supports intelligent cellular failover, policy-based routing, and interface bonding – preventing any external network failure from causing downtime.
This is particularly valuable when positioning branch connectivity, mission-critical sites, and applications where continuous availability is essential.
AI-driven network operations
The IX25 works seamlessly with Digi’s DANI (Digi Artificial Network Intelligence) platform – an open MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects the Digi management environment to any AI platform you (or your customers) already use – e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini. This means instead of traditional dashboards, your engineering teams can ask plain-language questions and DANI synthesises real network data and delivers actionable answers instantly, cutting diagnostic time by 30–50% and reducing support escalations.
Simplified Deployment and Support with Digi 360
Digi 360 – including Digi Remote Manager, warranty, and 24/7 customer care – is included for the first year with every IX25 device. This comprehensive package simplifies deployment, management, and lifecycle support for your customers, with extension and renewal options available to match their operational needs. Multi-year licensing (3-year and 5-year options) delivers significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to competitive edge router platforms – a strong selling point when positioning against alternatives.
Use cases
The IX25 enables seamless integration of cloud-delivered operational and information technology services across your distributed infrastructure. Whether managing SCADA systems, telemetry networks, branch connectivity, or retail infrastructure, the IX25 simplifies operations and supports scalable deployments without the complexity of managing separate systems.
