Digi International and UR Group form strategic relationship

Digi International, a leading global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity solutions, has entered into a strategic agreement with UR Group, a leader in specialised services spanning Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), defence, industrial automation and energy markets. With a primary focus on rail, bus and Smart Cities, Digi and UR Group will initially collaborate to deliver advanced ITS solutions to UK-based organisations.

Digi’s smart railways solutions can communicate real-time data about a range of asset-monitoring functions, from wagon tracking for rail freight customers to air-conditioning performance on passenger trains. The secure technology monitors infrastructure and identifies faults so they can be addressed before they disrupt operations.

Justin Schmid, general manager of cellular solutions at Digi International, said: “We are honoured to work with a true innovator in the ITS sector.

“UR Group is at the forefront of solutions that support advanced Smart Cities and transit systems, such as the world’s first hydrogen-powered passenger trains in the UK. Powered by Digi Remote Manager, our broad range of cellular router solutions are reliable and easy to deploy, manage and control for the entire product lifecycle from a single command point.

“Our ability to innovate and deliver recurring value underpins our commitment to the long-term success of our customers’ deployments, which aligns exceptionally well with our burgeoning collaboration.”

Joe Matano, managing director of UR Group, said: “This is an exciting time for organisations like Digi and UR Group to bring innovation to the transportation sector.

“More than ever, relationships like this are critical to enable integration of new technologies and create scalable solutions that facilitate the transition to green energy and shape the future of transportation.”
