Digi Enters the Market for Satellite Subscriber Communicators for the ORBCOMM Network Through Acquisition of MobiApps

FORT LEE, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global satellite data communications company
focused on providing Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions, announced that Digi
International Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII) has entered the market for satellite
Subscriber Communicators for the ORBCOMM network with its recent purchase of
MobiApps Holdings Private Limited (MobiApps). MobiApps is a developer of M2M
communications technology, focusing on ORBCOMM satellite, cellular and hybrid
satellite/cellular solutions.

"We are very proud to welcome Digi as a manufacturer of Subscriber Communicators
for the ORBCOMM global M2M network," says Marc Eisenberg, CEO of ORBCOMM. "We
continue to be impressed by the innovation that MobiApps brings to Subscriber
Communicator design. Now, under the Digi umbrella, that technology can reach a
larger market. As a leader in M2M, Digi brings considerable expertise in product
design and distribution, with a strong presence throughout the world."

"Our wireless M2M customers are increasingly asking for satellite as a
communications option to complete their coverage model," said Joe Dunsmore,
Chairman, President, and CEO of Digi. "We're looking forward to moving MobiApps
products into Digi's strong global sales and distribution network. We believe
that satellite M2M will be a high growth opportunity for the foreseeable
future."

The acquisition of MobiApps by Digi will result in Satellite Communicators that
are especially suited to applications that cross country and continental
boundaries, providing connectivity in very remote locations, and providing
mission critical wireless backup solutions when cellular coverage is
insufficient. Digi will continue to produce the MobiApps M10, M100, M200
Subscriber Communicator models, as well as the custom designed and patented
mixed signal application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), that it supplies to
other module manufacturers.
