Digi AnywhereUSB Plus brings secure, flexible, and scalable
USB 3.1 multiport connectivity at Gigabit speeds and beyond for USB
devices connected from Remote or Virtualized Hosts
HOPKINS, Minn., April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Digi
International®, (NASDAQ: DGII) (www.digi.com), a leading
global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products
and services, today announced the availability of the Digi
AnywhereUSB® Plus products. Offered with two, eight, or 24 USB 3.1
Gen 1 connectors to enable USB device connectivity from local,
remote or virtualized hosts, these network-attached remote USB hubs
connect USB peripheral devices to a PC over an IP or, with a
cellular module, LTE network. The AnywhereUSB Plus modular
approach to cellular support means devices are 5G ready today. Key
applications include kiosks, logistics tracking, restaurant
kitchens, manufacturing lines, and software license key fob
management.
USB solutions continue to proliferate and replace serial and
older proprietary connections as a cost-effective and efficient
option for enterprise and industrial customers. Often, however,
users lack sufficient USB ports on host computers for all their
devices, need devices to be distributed over greater distances, or
wish to avoid the cost of hardened computers. Whether connecting a
point-of-sale ordering system to fulfillment, managing and tracking
software license dongles via USB key fob, or uploading/downloading
data and firmware to physical devices, users are increasingly
relying on USB connections for critical applications.
These applications require secure connectivity, higher speed
connections and port densities, and the flexibility to allow
different systems to connect to USB devices without having to
physically connect, disconnect, or move equipment around. Digi
addresses these needs with USB 3.1 support and Gigabit and higher
network speeds in industrial/rack-mountable form factors. The
eight- and 24- port versions provide hardware support for future
deployment of Digi's suite of CORE Plug-In LTE modems.
Digi AnywhereUSB® Plus products feature built-in Digi
TrustFence® security framework and Digi Remote Manager® (DRM), a
comprehensive IoT device management application. Later this year,
in addition to USB 3.1 port connectivity, all eight- and 24- port
models will be software upgradeable to support Digi's CORE LTE
Cellular modules. Also, at a later date, Digi will be introducing
SKUs that add Wi-Fi connectivity. Enterprise and industrial
customers that need remote or local USB in the kitchen, on the
factory floor, and anywhere in between, can count on the
reliability, security and device management capabilities of Digi in
two-, eight-, or 24-port packages.
"USB connectivity has become a real point of interest for
organizations operating kiosks, ATMs and manufacturing lines, among
other applications, and we've designed the Digi AnywhereUSB Plus to
meet the specific needs of those," said Scott Nelson, VP of Product at Digi
International. "We believe we're at the forefront of the industry
in providing the best, most scalable devices in this space –
including in a future that relies on cellular standards."
