DESIGN WEST, SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 27, 2012 – Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) and Wind River, today announced a collaboration to deliver a new family of cloud-connected wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions. The M2M Solution Builder kits will include a combination of hardware, software, cloud connectivity and access to tailored M2M development services. This complete end-to-end solution, tailored for performance- and connectivity-driven applications, dramatically simplifies the creation of an M2M solution.

By 2015, intelligent M2M systems will account for more than one-third of the volume of all embedded systems worldwide, according to IDC*. From real-time traffic data communicated to a vehicle’s GPS, to remote health monitoring systems transmitting data to a doctor's computer, to smart meters transmitting data on utility usage, the spectrum of ways in which intelligence from remote machines can and will be used is vast. With these possibilities come opportunities for companies to use this data to become more efficient, cut operational costs, improve customer satisfaction, and create new revenue streams.

“We are excited to work closely with Wind River and Intel to create differentiated smart device solutions,” said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing at Digi International. “In addition, the close relationship with Wind River allows us to offer customers a complete and field-proven software solution for smart connected devices.”

“The M2M industry is in need of a complete end-to-end solution to accelerate market adoption,” said Jim Robinson, general manager, operations and marketing for intelligent systems at Intel. “Complete solutions from industry leaders like Digi and Wind River will allow developers and OEMs to quickly build connected products and cloud-enabled services with confidence.”

“Wind River’s value proposition is built on streamlining and supporting the enablement of M2M services with our leading software and middleware, complemented by our extensive hardware and software M2M partner ecosystem,” said Roger Williams, vice president of alliances and business development at Wind River. “The integration of the iDigi Device Cloud will allow customers to build secure and cloud-enabled M2M solutions with Wind River software, adding cloud-based data analytics capabilities and remote device management to new and existing applications. The seamless integration of cloud-connected services and applications is a natural extension of Wind River’s proven software and services for smart connected devices.”

The M2M Solution Builder kit will integrate performance and connectivity in a fanless and compact form factor. It is suited for a wide variety of applications such as transportation, smart energy, building automation, access control, security/surveillance, m-health, digital signage, kiosks, and fixed/mobile asset tracking/management. The M2M Solution Builder kit will feature the following:

• Intel® Atom™ processor E6204.


• Wind River Linux environment with an M2M software development kit (SDK).


• iDigi Connector™ integration, which allows any device to integrate easily with the iDigi Device Cloud, a proven cloud infrastructure for remote device management and cloud-based information exchange providing “Any App, Anything, Anywhere™” capabilities to connected devices via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular connectivity.

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Mar. 14, 2012 — Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, is a winner of the embedded AWARD 2012 in the Tools category for its Wind River User Experience (UX) Development Kit, a kit that enables the rapid creation of automated test scripts for Android devices.

Earlier this month at Embedded World 2012 in Germany, an independent jury of experts selected outstanding technical innovations in embedded technologies in two categories: Hardware and Tools. With only three winners awarded for 2012, these highly selective awards pay tribute to exceptionally innovative products or developments that are unique and forward thinking. Drawing more than 800 international exhibitors, the embedded world exhibition and conference is among the world's largest events for the embedded industry.

“As Android devices continue to flood the market, the industry is recognizing that poorly tested applications can result in significant costs if the user experience is unsatisfactory. In order to deliver a quality device that a consumer will want to purchase and use, thorough automated testing is needed,” said Amit Ronen, vice president and general manager of device test at Wind River. “The embedded AWARD is a great achievement that acknowledges Wind River’s efforts to help customers develop Android devices with reliable and fulfilling user experiences in order to create greater customer satisfaction to improve the bottom line.”

Wind River UX Test Development Kit is designed to assist in the validation of the user experience of a device by reproducing human interactions to test user interfaces. For example, a quality assurance engineer can automate scenarios that test the experience of interacting with graphic interface elements such as dragging items or typing entries on a physical or virtual keyboard. The fully automated execution of these tests can replace a significant amount of manual testing and dramatically reduce testing cycles and time-to-market. The test scripts are managed and automatically executed using Wind River Framework for Automated Software Testing (FAST), an automated software testing framework for Android-based devices.

A video demonstration of Wind River UX Test Development Kit can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhXMiit4Abo. To learn more about Wind River Android software, visit http://www.windriver.com/products/mobile/.
