Digi TransPort WR31 LTE Router Now Certified for Sprint M2M Networks Across North America

The certification signifies that the Digi TransPort WR31 LTE router has met Sprint's current testing standards and is officially approved for use on the Sprint network. As part of the certification process, the WR31 antenna has been pre-certified for use on the network, and the device has also passed pre-certification for OMA, which focuses on network protocol testing for network control of the device. Data Link testing for the WR31 was also completed as part of the certification process.

Designed for critical infrastructure deployments, the Digi TransPort WR31 LTE router addresses industries such as utility and industrial markets that manage a large number of remote assets installed in challenging environments. Leveraging Digi's license-free enterprise routing and security software, the Digi TransPort WR31 supports features required for high reliability and high-security applications. It is ideally suited for SCADA, telemetry and other network operations teams and is designed for installation at electric and water utilities, state and municipal traffic agencies, oil/gas production and distribution facilities, and manufacturing automation companies.

"With this certification, the WR31 provides organizations more flexibility when it comes to the freedom to select the network that best fits their needs for affordable and available cellular connectivity," said Joel Young, chief technology officer, Digi International. "The WR31 is available in multiple variants with software selectable 3G/4G LTE, allowing users to include Sprint in their analysis of network option for applications operating in specific geographic locations."

Hardened for Any Installation Scenario and Situational Understanding
With a ruggedized aluminum enclosure and DIN-rail form factor, the Digi TransPort WR31 is designed for use in cabinets, weatherproof enclosures and substation sheds. The product meets Class 1/Division 2 and ATEX ratings for use in hazardous environments and includes I/O support for local sensing and alarming applications.

Three-Tiered Always-On Approach
Operators who deploy the WR31 have three tiers of support for keeping devices online. Digi Remote Manager^SM provides a centralized portal for configuring devices en masse and reporting potential problems. Digi's enterprise software supports redundancy features like Digi's patented VRRP+ (Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol) and patented SureLink™ connection persistency software. Finally, the Digi TransPort WR31 supports dual SIMs to provide continuous service through failover from one service provider to another, which is essential for applications that require continuous network connectivity and must adhere to service-level agreements (SLA).
