Opengear, a Digi International company is pleased to announce the expansion of its CM8100-10G Console Manager series with the introduction of integrated 5G cellular technology. This release delivers the connectivity, security and operational efficiency support that customers rely on.
AI, IoT and Cloud computing are key technologies that are transforming business operations. These technologies require low latency, high bandwidth and always-on connectivity, forcing a rethink of how organisations deploy, manage, and secure critical infrastructure.
When used with Opengear’s Lighthouse software solution, Smart Management Fabric, and zero touch provisioning, the CM8100-10G-5G addresses these challenges by delivering a 5G-powered Smart Out of Band solution for fast, secure, and resilient remote network management.
The solution includes several standout features:
- 5G for network resilience: integrated 5G connectivity and 10GbE uplinks deliver seamless failover, ensuring business continuity and minimising downtime in high-density IT environments while streamlining everyday operations
- Scalable and adaptable infrastructure: upgraded with 5G technology, the CM8100-10G-5G safeguards IT investments by providing a highly scalable and adaptable network resilience solution that evolves with the demands of leading-edge technologies such as AI, Cloud computing, and IoT
- Optimised network management: connect and control up to 48 serial devices, simplify cabling, and reduce operational overhead — giving network teams greater visibility and control over critical infrastructure
“Business continuity can make or break a business. Including 5G technology in our CM8100-10G series represents a significant step in our promise to provide a network management solution that eliminates disruptions while enabling automatic failover to cellular for seamless access,” said Patrick Quirk, President of Opengear. “As demand for networks grows in complexity and the volume of data increases, the need for a fast, reliable, and efficient remote management solution becomes critical.
