IoT Management Subscription Service Digi 360 Debuts

Digi International, the provider of IoT connectivity products, has launched a subscription-based solution for supporting ease-of-use, deployment visibility and optimized ROI for routers.

Digi 360, which the company unveiled on Tuesday, is a subscription service offering a connectivity package with some tools that it designed to simplify the process of deploying internet of-things-focused projects. These tools include automation and edge computing that are relevant to several different types of deployments, management software hosted in the command center, Digi-made cellular devices, and customer care provided by Digi.

“The launch of Digi 360 will provide a massive benefit to our channel, as [partners] seek to provide the most comprehensive and easy-to-use solutions to their customers," Tony Puopolo, SVP and general manager of Digi managed solutions, told Channel Futures. "From a single SKU, their customers will have a fully supported solution that comes with integrated security and management, as well as an industry-leading warranty and 24/7/365 customer care. And that, in turn, results in ease-of-deployment, scalability, an improved customer experience and ROI.”
