infrastructure," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing, Digi International.   "The

Digi Transport WR44 has all the functionality of enterprise-class routers but with a vertically focused feature

set designed for specific industry applications such as transportation, public safety, remote office, retail and

financial."

safety vehicles, or on a bus, train, van or ship.  It is also ideal for providing both primary and back-up

connectivity to remote office networks.  High-end security features also make the product perfect for point-of-

sale applications such as remote payment processing within a Payment Card Industry Data Security

Standards (PCI-DSS) approved network.


    The Digi TransPort WR44 features diverse power options, multiple mounting options, a rugged design, local

scripting, advanced dynamic routing, state-of-the-art security and firewall features including stateful packet

inspection and integrated IPSec VPN.  Enterprise-class protocols incorporate BGP, OSPF and VRRP+, a

patented technology built upon the popular VRRP failover standard providing true auto sensing, auto failure

and auto recovery of any line drop.

Various configurations are available including multiple serial ports (async or sync), GPS or I/O telemetry

modules, a USB port and a four-port Ethernet switch.  Additionally, the Digi Transport WR44 can be fully
