What's the relationship between Lantronix and Transition Networks?

Lantronix acquired Transition Networks in 2021 — Transition Networks hardware is now part of the Lantronix portfolio and managed via Lantronix's ConsoleFlow cloud platform. The Transition Networks brand name continues on the Minnesota-manufactured industrial Ethernet switches and fiber media converters.

Is Lantronix the same as Digi International?

Lantronix and Digi International are competitors in the industrial IoT and serial device server market — similar product categories, similar market positioning. Lantronix is headquartered in California with U.S. manufacturing; Digi is headquartered in Minnesota with U.S. manufacturing. Both are NDAA compliant. Choose based on specific product fit for your deployment.

What does ConsoleFlow do?

ConsoleFlow is Lantronix's cloud-based fleet management platform — firmware push, configuration templates, real-time telemetry, and alerting across all Lantronix cellular IoT gateways, serial device servers, and Transition Networks industrial Ethernet hardware. Essential for fleet deployments above ~20 devices for operational efficiency.

Can EDS serial device servers handle modbus and DNP3?

Yes. EDS serial device servers transport serial protocols transparently over Ethernet — modbus RTU, DNP3, and virtually any RS-232/422/485 serial protocol works as-is. The device server doesn't interpret the protocol, just transports the serial data over IP to the receiving system.

Does Lantronix still sell Opengear out-of-band management?

No. Lantronix sold Opengear to Digi International in 2023. Out-of-band data center management products are now part of the Digi portfolio. Lantronix focus is now industrial IoT edge and Transition Networks industrial Ethernet.

About Lantronix

Lantronix, Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California, manufactures industrial IoT networking, cellular routers, serial device servers, and remote management hardware for industrial, commercial, and enterprise deployments. Lantronix's core product families include cellular IoT gateways (X-series LTE and 5G gateways for distributed IoT telemetry), serial-to-Ethernet device servers (EDS and xPrintServer series bridging legacy industrial equipment to modern networks), Transition Networks industrial switches and media converters (acquired in 2021, now part of the Lantronix portfolio), and ConsoleFlow cloud platform for centralized fleet management of all Lantronix and Transition Networks hardware.

Lantronix occupies a similar market position to Digi International — industrial IoT and serial device server specialist competing in the cellular edge networking and device server categories. The Transition Networks acquisition brought Minnesota-manufactured industrial Ethernet switches and fiber media converters into the Lantronix portfolio, while the 2023 sale of Opengear to Digi International narrowed Lantronix's focus to industrial IoT and cellular edge versus data-center out-of-band.

Lantronix is NDAA Section 889 compliant with U.S.-based manufacturing and design — approved for U.S. federal procurement, state and local government, and critical-infrastructure deployments requiring domestic sourcing. The ConsoleFlow platform provides unified cloud management across Lantronix and Transition Networks hardware, simplifying fleet deployment for mixed industrial IoT + Ethernet infrastructure customers.

Where Lantronix Fits

Lantronix fits industrial IoT, utility, transit, agricultural, and federal deployments requiring cellular edge networking combined with legacy serial-device integration. Typical applications include distributed industrial IoT (X-series cellular gateways at remote industrial sites with legacy RS-485 equipment integration via EDS serial device servers), utility SCADA (Transition Networks industrial switches with Lantronix cellular backhaul), transit systems (DIN-rail hardware in trackside cabinets with ConsoleFlow fleet management), and federal critical infrastructure (NDAA-compliant U.S.-made hardware with unified ConsoleFlow cloud platform for multi-site management). Lantronix is similar to Digi International in market positioning — choose based on specific product fit for the deployment rather than overall brand differentiation.

Why Choose Lantronix
