Digi EX50-WXS6-GLB 5G Cellular Router

Business has forever changed with millions of employees working remotely. The Digi EX50 5G cellular router with 5G/4G dual connectivity provides your business with a fast, secure and resilient enterprise-grade network that changes the work-from-anywhere experience for good.

Digi EX50 is an ideal choice for your business as you adapt to the new normal. The small form factor of Digi EX50 makes it the 5G go-to enterprise solution where the work is happening: at the headquarters for backup connectivity, at the branch for cost-optimized primary connectivity, or at the IT-managed home office for secure, all-in-one connectivity with Wi-Fi.

Part of Digi enterprise solutions, this router comes with industry-leading software, including Digi Accelerated Linux (DAL OS), Digi TrustFence ® security framework, and the Digi Remote Manager ® configuration and management platform. These tools deliver security, reliability and system-wide management of your entire infrastructure.

Dual-SIM slots provide carrier flexibility and wireless failover, and with 4G LTE and 3G fallback, you’re covered in areas where 5G is not yet deployed. The latest generation Wi-Fi 6 radios in the Digi EX50 router operate simultaneously for higher speed, capacity, quality of service and range than previous Wi-Fi products. Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports break the Gigabit barrier and deliver 5G speeds for future-ready networks.

Digi EX50 supports indoor use-cases with an extended operating temperature range, such as smart factories, warehouses, construction sites or infrastructure sheds.

An available serial port with Cisco straight-through pinout enables secure out-of-band (OOB) management of other on-site equipment.

To simplify installation, Digi EX50 can be directly powered by an active PoE+ switch or a DC IN barrel connector as the primary or backup power source for redundancy.

    A cellular router and a cellular modem serve distinct roles in wireless communication. A cellular modem connects a single device to a cellular network, converting cellular signals into data for internet access. In contrast, a cellular router not only includes a modem but also manages multiple device connections, offering features such as network routing, firewall security, and failover capabilities. This makes cellular routers ideal for rugged, mission-critical applications requiring reliable multi-device connectivity. FB Peripherals is a trusted supplier of rugged cellular routers designed for harsh environments. For more detailed information, visit our rugged routers page.

    Cellular routers are widely used across various industries requiring reliable, remote connectivity in harsh or mission-critical environments. Key sectors include oil and gas, transportation, utilities, manufacturing, and emergency services. These industries rely on cellular routers for real-time data transfer, remote monitoring, and secure communication. Rugged cellular routers are essential where wired networks are impractical or unavailable, ensuring uninterrupted operation in extreme conditions. For robust and industrial-grade solutions, FB Peripherals is a trusted supplier, offering specialised devices designed to meet demanding requirements across multiple sectors.

    Yes, most cellular routers support external antennas to enhance signal strength and reliability, especially in challenging environments. External antennas are crucial for improving connectivity in remote or industrial locations where signal reception may be weak or obstructed. Rugged cellular routers often feature ports for attaching a variety of antenna types, including omnidirectional and directional antennas, to optimise performance. For mission-critical applications, choosing a reliable source like FB Peripherals ensures access to quality rugged routers and compatible cellular router antennas designed for harsh conditions.

    A cellular broadband router can effectively replace fixed broadband in many applications, particularly where flexibility or remote access is crucial. Cellular routers provide reliable, high-speed internet by connecting to mobile networks, making them ideal for locations without fixed-line infrastructure or as a failover solution. Rugged industrial cellular routers from trusted suppliers like FB Peripherals are designed for harsh environments, ensuring continuous connectivity in mission-critical settings. However, for heavy bandwidth demands or highly stable connections, fixed broadband might still be preferable. Ultimately, the choice depends on specific operational needs and environmental conditions.
