Blog
We have had a lot of fun on our Road to embedded world ’23 thus far, but when I heard we were off to Hopkins, Minnesota, I was excited. I, personally, have never been to Minnesota, and excited to get some fishing in while we are there. Thinking of fishing, our main goal, other than the one that got away, is to fish around Digi International to take a peak at Digi ConnectCore Cloud and Security services.
Digi ConnectCore Cloud Services:
Digi’s ConnectCore Cloud and Security services utilize a software architecture that works seamlessly with its family of system-on-modules to provide secure and connected IoT devices with pre-installed secure OTA software updates to products.
The ConnectCore Cloud Services enables designers to develop connected devices with remote-dashboard, -service, and -application capabilities using Digi ConnectCore system-on-modules (SOMs). Leveraging the decade proven technologies that are built into Digi Remote Manager, engineers produce custom interfaces that provide features such as the ability to remotely configure, monitor, and maintain connected devices.
Manage your network and connected devices from edge-to-cloud:
- Industry-leading cloud and edge tools for rapid device deployment, and easier asset management
- Automate mass firmware and software updates to enhance functionality, stay in compliance and scale your deployment
- Access data from edge devices that were previously out of reach RT NUMBERS
- Integrate device data through open APIs to gain deeper insights and control with third-party applications
