A comprehensive overhaul of the legacy Digi Connect Sensor+
product, Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M addresses the need for efficient
remote monitoring in low/no power environments through its
dual-battery extended run time and robust design. Digi Connect
Sensor XRT-M is a rugged, battery-powered monitoring solution
equipped with versatile I/O for remote sensor connections, enabling
cost-effective data collection from remote assets in minutes.
“With the introduction of Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M with Digi
Axess, we’re setting a new standard in remote monitoring by
empowering real-time data processing,” said Brian Kirkendall,
General Manager and Vice President of Infrastructure Management at
Digi. “We designed XRT-M to work in a wide range of environments
with the ability to connect to a wide variety of sensors and
devices. With simple setup and broad compatibility, XRT-M with Digi
Axess is the simple and powerful way to get value from remote
devices quickly and cost effectively.”
The key features of the Digi Connect Sensor product line that
our customers rely on include its cellular connectivity and long
battery life, robust industrial feature set and reliability in
challenging conditions. “Everybody has a battery-operated Wi-Fi or
radio,” said Stephen Orton, Superintendent of Augusta Utilities in
Georgia. “But I need cellular because I don’t want to put up a
bunch of remote sites with more antennas. That was Digi’s big
selling point. One, you’ve got the cellular, and two, you have the
battery.” Additionally, he shared that, “the hardest part with any
type of sensor is getting power to it, getting signal and
communication back. That’s the cost. With Digi, it’s easy. We can
set up not just one sensor; because of the cost, I can set up four
or five up and down the stream where other tributaries are pouring
in.”
The new Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M is enhanced by seamless
integration with the Digi Axess management platform. This means
enterprises will benefit from multiple connection options and gain
access to a cloud-based control solution that offers unparalleled
scalability, accessibility, and cost-efficiency. Whether deployed
as a standalone cloud platform or integrated seamlessly into
existing systems, Digi Axess empowers businesses to harness remote
monitoring and control capabilities.
Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M will be sold in accordance with Digi’s
new “monitoring and control as-a-service” pricing model, in which
additional service options are included with the cost of the
product at the time of purchase. The Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M
solution includes one year of access to the Digi Axess platform,
enabling seamless integration and management of equipment data for
enhanced operational efficiency and streamlined data
management.
This next-generation solution supports the full range of
infrastructure monitoring applications our customers are deploying,
including:
- Critical infrastructure and civil engineering projects
- Water/wastewater monitoring and remote management
- Environmental monitoring
- Industrial automation and control
Tailored for businesses in precision agriculture, municipal
water utilities, mining, and industrial gas and chemical verticals
seeking seamless remote data collection, Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M
is ideal for water level monitoring, environmental compliance and
equipment performance optimization. Boasting both digital and
analog inputs, Connect Sensor XRT-M provides adaptability and
dynamic capabilities beyond the norm. With configurable DC voltage
level output, it can power industry-standard sensors, offering
versatility in monitoring solutions.
Key Features of Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M include:
- Extended battery life with lightweight cloud connection and
dual 14.5 Ah batteries

C1D2 certification with NEMA enclosure

Unlike competitors, Digi Connect Sensor XRT-M provides 22-amp
hours of power, making it an impeccably strong, efficient and
long-lasting device with 100% more power per battery lifecycle.
“A big part of what makes us unique is that we are agnostic,”
Kirkendall emphasized. “You don’t need a certain type of sensor. We
provide the breadth and flexibility to work with your sensor
provider of choice and support you in efficiently and
cost-effectively getting the remote visibility you need to run your
business.”
Designed to thrive in the most challenging industrial
environments, Connect Sensor XRT-M stands out as the go-to solution
