ConnectPort X gateways

ConnectPort X gateways aggregate and transport ZigBee/802.15.4 network traffic to central data applications over cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections. ConnectPort X gateways are a key element of Digi's Drop-in Networking family of products – a collection of hardware components that also includes our XBee® adapters, modules, extenders and bridges – which together enable distributed electronic devices to be wirelessly networked where no wired infrastructure exists or where access to an existing network is prohibited. ConnectPort X gateways feature an integrated ZigBee/802.15.4 module plus cellular (3G, 2.5G or 2G), Wi-Fi, GPS and local storage options. Several physical interfaces are available as well, including Ethernet, serial, USB and a 1-Wire sensor port that accepts Digi's Watchport® sensors (X8 model only). ConnectPort X gateways are available in multiple configurations to suit various applications and connectivity needs. For programmability, ConnectPort X gateways offer an embedded Python® engine, giving users a powerful open-source software tool to develop custom applications to run on the gateway. The Python environment is noted for its simplicity and can be used to automate a variety of control, monitoring and notification procedures.
