Users across a wide variety of industries utilize the market leading Digi AnywhereUSB Plus solution to unlock secure, robust, and scalable connectivity between peripheral devices and PCs, eliminating physical proximity constraints. This new release offers broad support for multiple Linux distributions as well as running headless or without a GUI, providing greater flexibility for developers and system integrators who rely on Linux platforms.

The new Linux and Windows support comes at a critical moment as industries increasingly adopt SOM-based IIoT and IoT devices to leverage the power of 5G networks. These devices demand robust and reliable software solutions for optimal performance, and with enhanced Linux support and improved Windows functionality, Digi is ensuring that developers have the essential tools to create and maintain high-performing, scalable solutions.

"With the increased adoption of SOM-based IIoT and IoT devices for 5G, it is imperative to ensure software reliability at scale through rigorous validation and verification," said Ben Tucker, Director of Product Management for Infrastructure Management at Digi International. "The enhanced support for Linux and improved functionality on Windows platforms in Digi AnywhereUSB Plus provides SOM manufacturers, system integrators, and software developers with the robust, flexible, and scalable tools necessary to meet the stringent demands of IIoT and IoT infrastructure."

Key features of the new update include:

  • Expanded Linux support: Digi AnywhereUSB Plus and AnywhereUSB Manager now offer broad support for multiple Linux distributions, including headless operation, providing greater flexibility for developers and system integrators who rely on Linux platforms to develop and test their projects.
  • Improved Windows functionality: Enhancements to Microsoft Windows support ensure seamless integration and usability across different environments.
  • Enhanced reliability and performance: These improvements deliver the most reliable tools for testing and validating complex software, ensuring that they meet the stringent demands of IIoT and IoT applications.

Crucial for developers and integrators seeking reliable and flexible solutions, Digi AnywhereUSB Plus enables devices to connect to a network over USB, providing a secure, versatile, and scalable way to manage USB devices remotely. This makes the solution ideal for virtualized environments and data centers where USB devices need to be remotely managed, eliminating the need for direct USB connections.

Coupled with the AnywhereUSB Manager software, configuring and managing these connections is simplified, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience. Additionally, with product purchase, users benefit from 1 Year of Digi Lifecycle Assurance including robust 24/7 Expert technical support and Premier Access to Digi Remote Manager® — Digi’s command center for network control — and best-in-class 5-year warranty, further enhancing the reliability and sustainability of their USB connectivity solutions.
