Digi Connect ME Family
®
Wired and Wireless Device Server Modules
The industry’s first interchangeable, secure wired and wireless
device server modules with plug-and-play functionality and
professional development tools for custom applications.
Overview
The Digi Connect ME family of secure device server modules
delivers complete and versatile embedded IPv6-ready network
connectivity. The modules are cost effective and easy to use in
existing and new product designs, while powerful enough to
meet future product performance needs. Target applications
include retail systems, security/access control, medical devices
and building/industrial automation.
Form factor compatibility allows the drop-in replacement of a
wired or wireless module in your product design. The modules
offer true long-term product availability and state-of-the-art
wired and wireless security capabilities such as SSL/TLS and
WPA2/802.11i.
Built on Digi’s 32-bit NET+ARM processors, the modules
deliver off-the-shelf serial-to-network functionality through
Digi’s plug-and-play firmware, and the freedom and flexibility
of professional embedded development provided by easy-to-use
and cost-effective Digi JumpStart Kits
