Digi Creates LTE Migration Services as Roadmaps for Advanced IoT

According to a recent announcement, Digi International, a global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, has rolled out its LTE Migration Services offering, designed to help carriers prepare to sunset legacy networks and transition to LTE. With the Digi LTE Migration Services, the company said it will provide organizations the information and feedback necessary to evaluate factors that are critical to capitalizing on the enhanced signal strength, speed and greater capacity that LTE architectures will provide. In an effort to help kick-start this migration, Digi reportedly will offer one hour of free consultation to those using qualified products for their new, advanced LTE solutions.

Digi said its new migration service can be rolled out as-needed, one step at a time, or as a bundled solution. These can include all or any combination of the following:

• Site Survey
• Product Selection
• Solution Design
• Deployment Planning

“Forward-thinking IoT operators need to not only consider 4G LTE-Advanced, but 5G and beyond when it comes to emerging standards,” said Tracy Roberts, VP, Technology Services, Digi. “Network professionals need to begin planning now for the many subtleties that will affect their long-term adoption plans. It’s essential that they account for a variety of factors to capitalize on the speed and longevity benefits that next generation LTE presents and to architect networks capable of evolving as standards evolve. With careful planning, companies will be in a better position to capitalize on the increased speed and greater capacity that emerging LTE architectures will provide.”
