Digi IX30 2 SIM Ethernet, Cellular Modem/Wireless Router

The Digi IX30 is an intelligent, rugged 4G LTE router built for critical infrastructure and industrial applications where reliability, security, and uptime are non-negotiable. Designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of environments, this all-in-one modem and wireless router combines dual-SIM redundancy with flexible WAN options, centralized management, and enterprise-grade security. Whether deployed in remote facilities, production lines, smart grid devices, or field service networks, the IX30 keeps machines connected, data flowing, and operations resilient.

• Rugged, industrial-grade reliability: Engineered for harsh environments, the IX30 is built to endure challenging conditions that often confront industrial deployments. Its durable enclosure and hardened design support long-term operation in locations where other routers struggle, delivering dependable connectivity in factory floors, outdoor sites, and remote installations.
• Dual SIM redundancy for carrier resilience: With two SIM slots, the IX30 enables intelligent failover and carrier diversity. In the event of a network outage or carrier degradation, traffic automatically switches to the available network, minimizing downtime and keeping critical devices online without manual intervention.
• Flexible WAN and seamless connectivity: The IX30 combines Ethernet networking with cellular modem capabilities, providing a versatile platform for local area networking and remote access. This hybrid approach supports remote monitoring, asset management, and machine-to-cloud communications, ensuring data reaches its destination securely and promptly.
• Enterprise-grade security for industrial workflows: Security is built in, not bolted on. Expect robust firewall functionality, encrypted communications, and VPN support to protect sensitive data as it traverses public networks. The IX30 supports secure provisioning and remote updates to maintain a hardened device posture in the field.
• Remote management and scalable deployment: Leverage centralized management through Digi Remote Manager and compatible cloud-based tooling to provision, monitor, and maintain fleets of IX30 devices. OTA firmware updates, remote configuration, and alerting streamline operations and reduce on-site visits.

How to install Digi IX30

Deploying the Digi IX30 is designed to be straightforward so teams can get critical assets connected quickly and securely. Follow these best-practice steps to install the unit in typical industrial environments:

• Choose an installation method that suits your site — mount the IX30 on a DIN rail or secure it to a wall or enclosure to protect from vibrations and physical tampering.
• Insert two SIM cards into the dedicated dual-SIM slots, ensuring they are from reliable carriers with provisioning for data plans. Verify SIM readiness and confirm network bands align with local cellular coverage.
• Connect the device to power and your local Ethernet network. Use the Ethernet port to attach critical devices, sensors, or a local switch, and configure the IX30 as either a primary WAN or a backup gateway as your network design requires.
• Power on the unit and access its configuration interface or Digi Remote Manager portal. Set up LTE APN settings, specify preferred SIMs for traffic, configure firewall rules, and enable VPN tunnels if required for secure data transmission.
• Test connectivity and failover behavior by simulating network outages. Validate that traffic switches seamlessly between cellular and wired networks, and confirm remote management capabilities for ongoing monitoring and updates.
