What makes FlexiHub a perfect remote support service:

Data protection. Whether a technician uses the Android remote support tool to transfer some sensitive data from a user’s device to their computer or is willing to share some equipment over the Internet, all connections created with FlexiHub are protected with 2048-bit SSL encryption. This provides security for communications and prevents data from being damaged or lost.

Redirection Server. The Redirection Server of FlexiHub allows exchanging data between computers that are not located in the same network. When a direct connection is not possible, a remote support through firewall can still be performed, as long as the peripheral is redirected over the network with the help of FlexiHub’s private communication server.

Traffic compression. The data transferred to a remote side can be compressed by the software. By enabling this feature, a user can significantly reduce traffic consumption at the same time increasing the data transfer speed.

Saving time. FlexiHub eliminates the need for device transportation and on-site support. It works perfectly well over the Internet. This allows saving considerable time and gives an efficient way for a technician to provide a faster and more responsive service.

Reducing costs. Remote support software allows companies to centralize their IT support teams in one location saving the expense of specialists' travel.

FlexiHub’s functionality in your own remote support solution

What makes FlexiHub different from all the other offerings in this space is the unique USB virtualization technology it uses. Working with a variety of protocols, the FlexiHub’s USB pass-through technology is able to power any remote support USB tool, making it more versatile and reliable. In case you are willing to integrate the program’s powerful features into your own software or hardware project, you can do this with FlexiHub’s Development Kit.

Therefore, working as a remote assistance service, FlexiHub does a good job redirecting devices over the network. This makes the software an extremely efficient way for any technician to save time and significantly increase their productivity.

What is Remote Support Software useful for?

Remote support software is tailored for IT specialists and technicians looking for an efficient way to access customers’ equipment remotely. Thanks to the ability to establish a connection over the Internet, any tech expert can provide their services without having end-users’ devices physically present at the specialist’s side. With the help of remote access software work becomes easier.

In addition to remote device troubleshooting, dedicated software tools make it possible for a tech staff to diagnose USB and serial port equipment over LAN and monitor its activity from any remote location. What’s important, devices can be started and accessed without their owners being involved.

Remote support software significantly simplifies the task for both tech specialists and their customers. It helps support experts to access a malfunctioning device itself this way eliminating the need to discuss technical details with the device owner.
