AnywhereUSB Plus

Connect USB peripheral devices anywhere on a Local Area Network (LAN) without a locally-attached host computer

Digi AnywhereUSB® Plus brings secure, flexible and scalable USB 3.1 multiport connectivity for USB devices connected from remote or virtualized hosts.

Key applications include:

  • Kiosks
  • Warehouse logistics
  • Retail Point of Sale (POS)
