Comparing Sierra? Here's an enterprise cellular router built for simplicity and scale

Many enterprise cellular solutions require layered licenses, add-on subscriptions and separate support contracts. Digi takes a simpler approach — enterprise-grade hardware with management, security and support included from day one.

Here are three areas where Digi EX50 stands out vs. the Sierra Airlink XR80:

 

1. Reliability beyond the spec sheet

Keep sites online through carrier changes and network disruption, without manual intervention or truck rolls. 

Router specs are just table stakes. Digi EX50 differentiates itself in how it keeps sites connected when networks are unstable.

With multi-carrier SIM support and fast failover powered by Digi SureLink®, Digi EX50 is designed to maintain reliable connectivity and automatically recover from disruptions—helping reduce downtime and avoid costly site visits.

2. Security built into the platform

Get enterprise security by design, not bolt-on licenses, third-party add-ons or after-the-fact hardening. 

Digi EX50 is built on a security-first architecture, not dependent on external add-ons or manual hardening.

Backed by SOC 2 Type II compliance and Digi TrustFence®, the EX50 helps protect device identity, secure communications, and enforce consistent security policies across distributed deployments—right from day one.

3. Scalable management and lower total cost

Scale deployments with centralized management and predictable costs — without adding operational overhead as you grow. 

Digi EX50 is designed for deployments that need to grow without increasing operational complexity.

Integrated with Digi Remote Manager®, Digi EX50 enables centralized provisioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management—making it easier to scale while reducing hands-on effort. Flexible CAPEX and OPEX options help organizations optimize spend and lower overall total cost of ownership.
