Based on Acquired MaxStream(R) Technology, New Products
Provide Simple, Low-Cost Serial And Ethernet Cable
Replacement


    MINNETONKA, Minn., July 11 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Digi
International (Nasdaq: DGII) today introduced the XTend(TM)
and XStream(TM) radio frequency (RF) modems, and the
XPress(TM) Ethernet Bridge.  These stand-alone wireless
modems operate within the industrial, scientific and
medical (ISM) radio frequency bands and require no
configuration to provide a reliable wireless link out of
the box.  Their outstanding receiver sensitivity provides
robust communications even in the presence of interference.
 The new wireless modems are based on and compatible with
MaxStream's stand-alone radio modem product line and are
complementary to Digi's recently launched Drop-in
Networking solutions that provide device connectivity where
wired infrastructure does not exist or satisfy customer
needs.

    "We are leveraging the MaxStream acquisition to
strengthen and expand our wireless product offering,"
said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of sales and
marketing, Digi International.  "As the leading
provider of commercial grade device networking solutions,
we now offer a growing array of wireless solutions spanning
3G/cellular, Wi-Fi(R), proprietary wireless, and ZigBee(R)
technologies."

    Digi's XTend and XStream modems provide reliable serial
cable replacement. The high-performance XTend operates at
900 MHz and can provide up to 40 miles of range in
line-of-sight conditions.  The XStream is available in both
900 MHz and 2.4 GHz models and features up to 20 miles of
range in ideal conditions.  All are offered in
industrial-grade enclosures providing extended temperature
tolerance and moisture protection.  XTend modems are also
offered with NEMA 4 rated enclosures for use in areas with
heavy and frequent exposure to moisture.  The XTend and
XStream families are offered with a five-year warranty.  

    Digi's XPress Ethernet Bridge enables customers to
easily and wirelessly connect a data system to an Ethernet
network when using a cable is cost prohibitive or
impractical.  The XPress Ethernet Bridge operates at 900
MHz and 125 mW of power, providing up to 15 miles
line-of-sight range and an RF data rate of 1.5 Mbps.  It
also includes a five-year warranty.
