MINNETONKA, Minn. and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5, 2017 /CNW/ -- Digi International®, (NASDAQ: DGII), (www.digi.com), a leading global provider of machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, today unveiled the innovative features and capabilities powering the newest Digi XBee® Cellular modems.
