Digi International Announces Digi XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 4 Cellular Modem for IoT Applications

Rapid Integration, Global Connectivity

Global carrier and regulatory pre-certifications remove significant development burdens that device manufacturers typically face when integrating cellular connectivity. The standard XBee form factor and APIs enable device manufacturers to create a single, adaptable product by selecting the XBee cellular module needed, from high-speed LTE Cat 4 to low-power LTE-M/NB-IoT — without the need for costly redesigns.

Built for reliable operation in harsh environments, the module offers global LTE Cat 4 connectivity with automatic 2G/3G fallback for reliability, an integrated GNSS receiver for location-aware applications (geofencing, asset tracking), Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) for wireless sensor connectivity with configuration via the Digi XBee Mobile app, and host integration flexibility via SPI, UART, or USB.

Edge Intelligence Transformation

The integrated MicroPython environment enables custom application logic on the module, allowing intelligent processing and decision-making at the edge with cloud integration with AWS IoT and Microsoft Azure IoT. Access to Bluetooth LE communication and local I/O enables local control and sensor integration, while helping to reduce design complexity and cost by eliminating separate microcontrollers.

"The Digi XBee 3 Cellular family accelerated our development to just five months with a single developer while enabling powerful edge intelligence through MicroPython applications on the module," said Jeremy Sullivan, CEO of IRROMETER. "Our sensors now seamlessly connect to IRROcloud, delivering historical and real-time insights for farmers to manage their irrigation strategy. This integrated ecosystem delivers exactly what we promise our customers: a simple, reliable, and affordable solution that optimizes water usage, reduces energy costs, and improves crop yields."

Device Management at Scale

Digi Remote Manager® enables scalable remote management for Digi XBee 3 Cellular — allowing customers to monitor, diagnose, and manage mission-critical devices from its central command center. The proven cloud-based platform supports OTA firmware updates, fleet health monitoring, automated tasks, and geolocation management. Digi XBee Studio is a tool that allows you to manage local Digi XBee 3 Cellular devices as well as remote Digi XBee devices registered in Digi Remote Manager.
