Building upon its expansive portfolio of Private Cellular Network (PCN) enabled devices, Digi IX10 is a full-featured cellular router combining trouble-free reliability with long service life. Flexible power and connectivity options make it a versatile and cost-effective choice for electric utilities, smart-grid equipment manufacturers, and other stakeholders that need to secure critical infrastructure data transmission over private cellular networks — including variants for Anterix 900 MHz licensed spectrum and CBRS 3.5 GHz spectrum.
“In the utilities market, private broadband is rapidly emerging as a must-have for grid modernization efforts,” said Carlos L'Abbate, CTO from Anterix. “As the nation’s largest holder of licensed spectrum in the 900 MHz band, our Anterix Active Ecosystem welcomes Digi’s latest addition to its portfolio of PCN-enabled routers. Together, Digi and Anterix are uniquely positioned to help utilities achieve secure, resilient and customer-controlled operations.”
The new Digi solution is ideal for a range of use cases in the industrial and utilities sectors, including transmission and distribution automation, connecting grid assets, metering, power quality monitoring, and remote instrumentation, as well as EV charging, solar farms, and other utilities applications that require greater intelligence, visibility, and edge computing.
“When it comes to modernizing our grid infrastructure, connectivity remains among the most important requirements,” said Kinana Hussain, Vice President of Product Management, from Digi International. “The latest model of the Digi IX10 expands our PCN device portfolio and, coupled with Digi Remote Manager, reaffirms our commitment to providing the smart and affordable connectivity needed by stakeholders in the electric utilities industry.”
Digi’s PCN solutions feature Digi Remote Manager® (Digi RM), the command center enabling the orchestration, management, and visibility of PCN devices. Digi RM enables low/no-touch provisioning, mass configuration, maintenance, and support, even for thousands of devices. With Digi RM, utilities can evaluate, update, and configure Digi devices while gaining visibility into network health. Digi also offers an on-premise remote management option for deployments requiring full control, and customization of their networking infrastructure.
“Digi International has been a prominent member of the OnGo Alliance for many years,” said Alan Ewing, Executive Director of the OnGo Alliance. “The launch of the Digi IX10 for CBRS marks another milestone in the continued adoption of 4G LTE and 5G solutions using shared spectrum. This addition to the company’s broad portfolio of PCN solutions will offer utilities – and other companies as well – more deployment options as they strive to improve the resiliency of the nation’s grid infrastructure.”

Seiden Law LLP, chief global counsel to Cambodian businessman Yim Leak, announced today that Jared Genser, international counsel to Mr. Yim and his wife, has asked two UN Special Rapporteurs to send an urgent appeal to the Thai government. The request is made on behalf of the couple and their seven-year-old son.

Six Official Statements in Nine Months. No Charge Filed in Any Court. Between December 2025 and September 2026, Thai officials described Mr. Yim as the center of a criminal network on six occasions: at two press conferences chaired by the head of the Thai government, in the House of Representatives, and in three government press releases.
