Digi EX50 Enterprise Cellular Datasheet

5G / 4G LTE cellular connectivity in a compact, all-in-one solution for primary or backup fixed wireless access (FWA) connectivity
Business has forever changed with millions of employees working remotely. The Digi EX50 router with 5G/4G dual connectivity provides businesses with a secure, resilient and optimized enterprise-grade network that changes the work from anywhere experience for good. Its small form factor allows device placement where the work is happening. Reduce the complexity of managing multiple devices, and simplify installations and day-to-day management with Digi Remote Manager®. Establish valuable network resilience with 4G failover in cases of 5G disruption, and gain additional security and enterprise features. The Digi EX50 is an ideal choice for businesses as they adapt to the new normal. The latest generation Wi-Fi 6 radios in the Digi EX50 router operate simultaneously on 2.4 and 5 GHz with higher speed, capacity, quality of service and range than previous Wi-Fi 5 products to support many clients, bandwidth-intensive devices and new use cases such as AR/VR. Dual SIM slots provide carrier flexibility and wireless failover, and with 4G LTE and 3G fallback, you’re covered in areas where 5G is not yet deployed. Digi EX50 supports a wide range of indoor use-cases beyond A/C controlled spaces with an extended operating temperature range, such as smart factories, warehouses, construction sites or infrastructure sheds. An available serial port with Cisco straight-through pinout can provide out-of-band (OOB) management for other on-site equipment. To simplify installation, Digi EX50 can be directly powered by an active PoE+ switch or a DC IN barrel connector as the primary or backup power source for redundancy.

Radio Frequency Interference
The Digi EX50 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a circuit different from the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Labeling Requirements (FCC 15.19)
EX50 complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. If the FCC ID is not visible when installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module FCC ID.

Modifications (FCC 15.21)
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Digi may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Important note
Digi customers assume full responsibility for learning and meeting the required guidelines for each country in their distribution market. Refer to the radio regulatory agency in the desired countries of operation for more information.

Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) statements
CAN ICES-003 (B)/NMB-003(B) This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Caution

1. The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
2. For devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limit;
3. For devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5850 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits as appropriate.
4. The high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
5. DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) products that operate in the bands 5250- 5350 MHz, 5470-5600MHz, and 5650-5725MHz.
