Digi 新核心模塊創下三項行業第一，能夠加快低功耗無線多媒體設備的開發速度
明尼蘇達州明尼通卡2009年11月5日電 /美通社亞洲/ — Digi International (Nasdaq: DGII) 今天推出業界首款專為低功耗、無線多媒體應用設計的核心模塊 ConnectCore(TM) Wi-MX51。該產品是業界首款基於 Freescale 新型高性能 i.MX51 處理器、首款提供 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi 和首款支持微軟新 Windows CE 6.0 R3 的無線核心模塊。ConnectCore Wi-MX51 使具有嚴格性能要求（如醫療器械、數字標牌、安全/訪問控制設備、銷售點終端設備以及工業自動化技術領域的顯示設備）的低功耗嵌入式應用能夠使用有線和 Wi-Fi 網絡。
Digi International 全球銷售和營銷部高級副總裁 Larry Kraft 表示：「ConnectCore Wi-MX51 創下三項行業第一，成為低功耗、無線多媒體應用的理想產品。首先，它在最新的『n』 Wi-Fi 頻帶上提供了連接性，使顯示設備具有更快、更可靠的無線連接性。其次，它採用了 Freescale 的新型高性能、低功耗技術。第三，它支持微軟用於顯示技術開發的最新工具。」
Freescale Semiconductor 多媒體應用部產品管理總監 Ken Obuszewski 表示：「i.MX51 具有高處理性能、先進的多媒體功能和低功耗，是眾多工業和消費應用的理想選擇。如今通過使用 Digi 的 ConnectCore Wi-MX51，客戶可以縮短網絡顯示設備的上市時間。」
ConnectCore Wi-MX51 是一款帶有高性能 ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A8 處理器的32位模塊，具有600和800 MHz 的處理速度。憑借 Freescale 的長達十年處理器產品壽命保證和 Digi 的五年質保，該產品堪稱業界最佳的長期可行的解決方案。
ConnectCore Wi-MX51 具有 10/100 MBit 以太網和預先認證的802.11 a/b/g/n 無線接口，所以無需再進行昂貴、又耗時的無線產品認證。它還具有強大的雙屏顯示和多媒體功能、片上硬件加密加速器、工業級溫寬、ZigBee 連通性支持以及 Windows CE 6.0 R3 操作系統。
新出的 Digi JumpStart(R) 開發套件將很快上市，定價為795美元。套件將包括一塊開發板、Windows CE 板級支持包以及 7 寸 XVGA 液晶顯示屏。面向 Windows CE 和 Linux 的模塊和 Digi JumpStart 套件將於2010年第一季度上市。您還可以通過 Digi 的無線咨詢部門 Spectrum Design Solutions 進行產品定制。垂詢詳情，請登陸http://www.digi.com/ccwimx51 。

With Three Industry Firsts, New Digi Core Module Speeds Development of Low Power Wireless Multimedia Devices
MINNETONKA, Minn., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII) today introduced the ConnectCore(TM) Wi-MX51, the industry’s first core module designed specifically for low power, wireless multimedia applications. It is the industry’s first wireless enabled core module based on Freescale’s new high-performance i.MX51 processor, first to offer 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and first to support Microsoft’s new Windows CE 6.0 R3. The ConnectCore Wi-MX51 enables wired and Wi-Fi networking for low power embedded applications with demanding performance requirements such as displays within medical devices, digital signage, security/access control devices, point-of-sale equipment and industrial automation technology.
“The ConnectCore Wi-MX51 features three industry firsts that make it ideal for low power, wireless multimedia applications,” said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing, Digi International. “First, it offers connectivity on the newest ‘n’ Wi-Fi band for faster and more reliable wireless connectivity of display devices. Second, it features new high performance, power efficient technology from Freescale. Third, it includes the latest tools from Microsoft for display technology development.”
“The i.MX51 features high performance processing, advanced multimedia features and low power consumption ideal for a multitude of industrial and consumer applications,” said Ken Obuszewski, Director of Product Management, Multimedia Applications Division, Freescale Semiconductor. “Integrated with Digi’s ConnectCore Wi-MX51, customers can now enjoy a fast time to market for network enabled display devices.”
The ConnectCore Wi-MX51 is a 32-bit module featuring a high-performance ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A8 processor with 600 and 800 MHz processor speeds. With Freescale’s 10-year processor availability guarantee and Digi’s five-year product warranty, it is the best long-term availability solution in the industry.
The ConnectCore Wi-MX51 features 10/100 MBit Ethernet networking and a pre-certified 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless interface. Pre-certification eliminates the need to certify wireless products which can be costly and time consuming. It also includes powerful dual-display and multimedia capabilities, an on-chip hardware encryption accelerator, an industrial temperature rating, ZigBee connectivity support and Windows CE 6.0 R3 operating system.
Early access Digi JumpStart(R) development kits will be available shortly for $795. Kits include a development board, Windows CE board support package and 7″ XVGA LCD. Modules and Digi JumpStart Kits for Windows CE and Linux will be available in the first quarter of 2010. Customization capabilities are also available through Spectrum Design Solutions, Digi’s wireless consulting division. For more information, visit http://www.digi.com/ccwimx51 .
