USB over Network
USB Network Gate is an essential USB over network solution that ensures fast and easy access to printers, webcams, scanners, external drives, and other USB devices over network no matter how far you are from these devices. Share USB device on computer (server side) and let remote computers (clients) access device and work with it as if it were connected to them directly. It's up to you to choose which OS will be a client or a server: Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. USB Network Gate allows you to secure your USB data by its own means of traffic encryption.

Common problem:

USB to Ethernet Connector

It often happens that there is just one USB device in the office that everyone needs to use. Running around with the device and plugging it into each machine all the time is rather inconvenient. The perfect solution would be to organize USB device sharing so that every worker can access it and use from their work place.

How USB Network Gate solves it:

USB over IP Network

Simply install USB Network Gate on the computer with USB device attached and on the remote computer you will access and use device on. Share the device over network with our USB over network gate solution and connect to this device from any remote location. On the server computer (the one with device attached) you can always see who is currently using the shared device.
