What Digi International does

Digi International (NASDAQ:DGII) is a publicly traded global provider of IoT connectivity products, services, and solutions, headquartered in Hopkins, Minnesota, founded in 1985, with 501–1,000 employees. The company sells embedded wireless modules (XBee), industrial and transportation cellular routers (IX/TX/EX series), system-on-modules (ConnectCore, built on NXP i.MX and STMicroelectronics STM32MP processors), infrastructure management devices (serial device servers, console servers), and cloud-based management platforms (Digi Remote Manager, Digi Axess, Genesis). It serves industrial, smart cities, transportation, retail/banking, healthcare, and OEM/embedded customers globally, with over 25 million XBee modules deployed and reference deployments including NYC DOT (14,000 intersections), Otis elevators, and HighGreat Technology's 100,000-drone fleet.

Digi's technical stack rests on proprietary firmware (DAL OS), the DigiMesh networking protocol, the TrustFence security framework, and patented SureLink active link health monitoring, supplemented by VRRP+ sub-second failover. The portfolio is organized around a "One Digi" platform-plus-modules architecture that retains acquired brands as sub-brands: Opengear (network resilience and out-of-band management), SmartSense (sensing-as-a-service for healthcare/food/pharmacy), Digi Ventus (managed cellular connectivity with Genesis operations platform), and Particle (edge-to-cloud application infrastructure). End-to-end ownership of hardware, cellular SIM, private network, and cloud infrastructure enables exclusive platform features such as integrated VPN remote access (Digi Remote Reach) and eSIM orchestration aligned with GSMA SGP.32.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales (cellular routers, XBee modules, ConnectCore SOMs) with a rapidly growing subscription and ARR layer — ARR reached $157M in Q1 FY2026, up 31% year-over-year, representing roughly 36% of revenue and marking the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit ARR growth. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales for large deployments, a partner-first distribution model with Mouser Electronics and element14/Avnet, the Digi Ventus MCP Program for MSPs and channel partners, and an e-commerce storefront at digi.com. FY2025 revenue was $430M with Q1 FY2026 revenue of $122M (+18% YoY) and a record 25.8% adjusted EBITDA margin; FY2026 guidance is 14–18% revenue growth, 23% ARR growth, and 17–21% adjusted EBITDA growth. Recent acquisitions — Ventus ($347.4M, 2021), Jolt Software ($145.5M, 2025), and Particle ($50M, 2026) — have been funded in part by a $250M senior secured revolving credit facility (Dec 2023) and have shifted the mix from one-time hardware toward recurring managed services and embedded-as-a-service revenue.

Core offering

Digi International designs, manufactures, and sells industrial IoT connectivity hardware — embedded wireless modules (XBee), system-on-modules (ConnectCore), industrial, transportation, and enterprise cellular routers (IX/TX/EX series), serial device servers, and console servers — paired with cloud-based device management platforms (Digi Remote Manager, Genesis, Digi Axess) and managed cellular connectivity services (Digi Ventus). The integrated stack is sold to enterprises, OEMs, governments, and channel partners for distributed IoT deployments across industrial, smart city, transportation, retail, healthcare, and agriculture use cases.

Product overview

Digi International operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture unified under the 'One Digi' strategy, encompassing hardware products, software platforms, and managed services across multiple acquired and organically developed brands. The core hardware portfolio spans embedded systems (Digi XBee wireless modules and Digi ConnectCore system-on-modules), cellular and networking routers (IX series industrial, TX series transportation, EX series enterprise, including the Digi IX25 with AI-enabled fleet management and the Digi TX65 rugged 5G router), and infrastructure management devices (Digi Connect EZ serial device servers and Digi Connect IT console servers). The software layer is anchored by Digi Remote Manager (centralized cloud device management) and Digi On-Prem Manager, complemented by value-added services (Digi Containers, Digi Mobile VPN, Digi WAN Bonding, Digi eSIM). Acquired brands — SmartSense (sensing-as-a-service), Particle (edge-to-cloud IoT platform), Opengear (network resilience and out-of-band management), and Digi Ventus (managed cellular connectivity with the Genesis operations platform) — extend the portfolio into vertical-specific managed services. The recently launched MCP server and DANI AI capabilities enable natural language device management and AI-augmented network diagnostics across the entire fleet.
