What is FlexiHub?

FlexiHub is a specialized software application used for sharing and management of network-connected USB and COM ports and devices. The tool enables users to access and manage USB devices from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

With FlexiHub you can increase the value of your USB devices by making them accessible to anyone on the same network. This app is compatible with the Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux operating systems.

FlexiHub enables a single user to remotely control multiple USB devices from a centralized computer. The application also enables an office to share an important USB peripheral with multiple users without swapping cables or moving the device. Organizations can create a distributed cloud of connected USB and serial ports allowing them to extract the maximum value from their peripheral devices and improving productivity.

How does FlexiHub work?

FlexiHub uses any standard TCP/IP network (or RDP protocol) to transfer USB data. The software encapsulates the USB data from a peripheral device connected to a physical port and sends it to another machine over the network. The software creates virtual USB ports that receive and de-encapsulate the data on a remote, network-connected computer.

The virtual USB ports created by FlexiHub fully emulate physical ports and enable distantly located equipment to be recognized in the same way as a locally connected peripheral device. Using FlexiHub, computers that have no physical USB ports can interact with USB devices as if they were physically connected.
