(Digi International: Minneapolis) -- Digi International, a leading global provider of IoT connectivity products and secure connectivity solutions, has announced Digi Connect EZ 4 TS and Digi Connect EZ 8 TS, next-generation serial device servers designed to help organizations modernize legacy serial infrastructure with enhanced security and centralized management without requiring enclosure or wiring changes.

The EZ TS family builds on the current Digi Connect EZ platform and provides an efficient transition path for existing ConnectPort TS and PortServer TS deployments while introducing new capabilities for today’s IT and OT requirements.

Serial connectivity remains essential across industrial automation, robotics, retail POS, kiosks, and embedded systems. However, many deployments lack the security and remote access capabilities required in modern environments. Digi Connect EZ TS enables organizations to securely connect and manage legacy serial devices over IP without replacing existing equipment.

“Digi Connect EZ TS delivers a secure and practical way to modernize serial connectivity while preserving existing infrastructure,” says Jon Borscheid, senior director of product management at Digi International.
