Telit, Digi secure wireless router solution focuses on financial services

June 18, 2014

Telit Wireless Solutions, a provider of machine-to-machine products and Digi International, a provider of end-to-end wireless solutions, have announced the integration of the Telit xE910 module family with the Digi TransPort family of cellular routers in the new WR11.

A news release from the companies said that the Digi Transport WR11 focuses on critical features for payment card and other secure transactions.

This focus accommodates the growing trend to use wireless technology to seize new opportunities in financial services, the companies said. For instance, the WR11 can help FIs reach underbanked populations in emerging markets, or provide ATM operators the means to add value-added services such as bill payment.

"We chose the xE910 because it has a small compact footprint and it supports a wide variety of network technologies on multiple carriers globally," said Curt Ahart, VP of cellular products at Digi. "The xE910 helps us reduce our engineering expense and shorten our time to market."

"The Telit xE910 family provides robust support for LTE, HSPA and EVDO networks," said Mike Ueland, president of Telit Americas. "By employing a continuous connection with the cellular network, Digi has removed the reliance on wired or customer-hosted WLAN connections."
