Digi International launches Bluetooth LE 5.4 module with edge processing

MINNEAPOLIS - Digi International (NASDAQ:DGII), a $1.33 billion market cap technology company with "GREAT" financial health according to InvestingPro, unveiled its Digi XBee 3 BLU module featuring Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 connectivity, the company announced Wednesday.

The new module, designed for industrial, healthcare, retail, and smart building applications, operates in harsh environments with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It supports enhanced range, improved data throughput, and beaconing capabilities for proximity detection and asset tracking. The innovation comes as Digi maintains strong profitability with $420.94 million in revenue over the last twelve months.

Available in two form factors (through-hole and micro), the module comes pre-certified to expedite regulatory approval across global markets.

Security features include Digi TrustFence with secure boot, hardware-accelerated encryption, and implementation of the Secure Remote Password standard for authentication and 256-bit AES encryption.

The module is supported by Digi XBee Studio for device discovery and configuration, the Digi XBee Mobile App for wireless configuration and over-the-air firmware updates, and the Digi IoT Mobile SDK for creating branded mobile applications.

"Digi XBee 3 BLU helps remove common integration barriers for device manufacturers by instantly enabling wireless device management integration from initial provisioning through ongoing maintenance," said Quinn Jones, Senior Product Manager at Digi International, according to the press release.

The Digi XBee 3 BLU module and development kits are currently available through Digi distributors.
