Digi Reinforces Multiport Serial Market Leadership with Support of Latest PCI Specifications; World's Best-Selling Asynchronous Line Remains Fully Future Proof.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2003 Digi International Digi International was founded in 1985 as DigiBoard and is headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA. The company went public as Digi International in 1989 and is traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol DGII. (R), Inc. (Nasdaq:DGII DGII Dirección General de Impuestos Internos DGII Directorate General of Human Rights (EU) DGII Deutschsprachige Gesellschaft für Intraokularlinsen-Implantation und refraktive Chirurgie (German) ), the leader in Connectware and manufacturer of the original DigiBoard(R), today announced that its market-leading line of asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. multiport serial cards, including its AccelePort(R) Xp and Digi Neo(R) product families have been enhanced to support the latest PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). standards, including PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. compatibility. Each segment of Digi's multiport serial PCI product line now features Universal PCI to allow support on new (usually 3.3V) and legacy (5V) machines. No other multiport serial card range offers Digi's fully future-proof upgradability by supporting all the latest PCI voltage and form factor standards while continuing support of 5V operation for legacy applications. Digi's AccelePort family of multi-modem cards and DataFire(R) SYNC digital WAN adapters also support the latest PCI standards. The Digi Neo family, including 2, 4 and 8-port products, now supports Universal PCI (3.3V or 5V) and low profile PCI, allowing them to fit in servers that require the latest PCI standards such as thin servers or rack-mount servers. The Digi Neo is now the only eight-port low-end card with a low-profile form factor that can be used in a 3.3V PCI slot (hardware) PCI slot - A connector on Peripheral Component Interconnect and the associated physical space occupied by the installed PCI card. . With computer manufacturers tending to remove serial ports from PCs, the Digi Neo product family has also been extended to include two-port models for those needing two-port expansion. Furthermore, Digi Neo cards are now available as powered serial models to eliminate the need for power supplies in select applications including point of sale where power cable clutter can be a particular problem. Digi's high-end AccelePort Xp product family, which has always supported Universal PCI, has also been enhanced with the addition of low profile PCI compliant products. PCI-X is a next generation PCI slot architecture. Digi Neo and AccelePort cards can all be used in PCI-X slots. "Digi International was built on the success of the asynchronous connectivity products with which the DigiBoard name became virtually synonymous," said Joe Dunsmore, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
