Question · Q1 2026
Tommy Mall inquired about the current demand environment, specifically in data centers, and how it compares to the previous quarter. He also asked for details on Particle's sales synergy opportunities, its integration with Digi's OEM business, and the 'as-a-service' component in OEM relationships.
Answer
President and CEO Ron Konezny noted improving demand, particularly in mass transit, utility, retail digital signage, and data centers (Opengear), driven by AI infrastructure buildout. He explained that Particle marks Digi's entry into embedded-as-a-service, integrating IoT solutions directly into customer machines, and will serve as a catalyst for the OEM solutions segment (now Particle by Digi). Konezny clarified that the 'as-a-service' model involves a direct relationship with the OEM, providing edge devices, software, connectivity, and a cloud platform for insights and updates.
