All Digi International asynchronous multiport serial cards, including its AccelePort Xp and Digi Neo product families have been enhanced to support the latest PCI standards, including PCI-X 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 multimodem cards and DataFire Sync digital WAN adapters also support the latest PCI standards.
The Digi Neo family, including two-, four- and eight-port products, now supports Universal PCI (3.3 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.
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 of Digi International.
"We remain committed to maintaining Digi's position as the clear world leader in serial connectivity.
Implementing the latest PCI standards ensures that our asynchronous products will retain their widespread appeal for years to come".
