Markets & Industries
USB is the most successful and popular interfaces in the history of computing and is utilized in some form across almost every commercial and industrial setting in the world.
However, due to the limitations of 5 meters distance there are many instances where Icron's patented ExtremeUSB® extenders are the only solution available to continue to use USB successfully. Below are some of the main markets and industries where Icron USB Extenders can allow users to streamline their USB usage.
Digital Signage
Interactive digital signs using touch screens are often employing USB technology.
When the host is not able to be co-located with the display within 5 meters, Icron’s ExtremeUSB® extenders can bridge the distance gap.
Education
Interactive whiteboards require connection to a classroom computer through USB connection, however often the teacher’s desk and the interactive whiteboard are at opposite ends of the classroom, stretching beyond USB’s 5 meter distance limitation. Icron’s ExtremeUSB® extenders bridge this gap.
Industrial Automation
USB is a common control interface used in industrial automation, however there is a distance limitation of 5 meters for USB 2.0 and 3 meters for USB 3.0.
Icron’s USB and USB + Video extenders are the perfect solution to bridge the distance gap.
Machine Vision Cameras
USB3 Vision cameras offer a desirable blend of simplicity, affordability, and high throughput compared to other Machine Vision camera technologies.
The downside is a distance limitation of just 3 meters, however this can easily be overcome with Icron’s USB 3.0 Spectra™ extender solutions.
Medical
Most clinical settings isolate the host computer from the medical imaging equipment and patient care area.
Icron’s USB and USB+Video extension systems are the perfect solution for facilitating the necessary distance requirement.
Oil/Mining/Gas
Oil, mining and gas applications demand reliable communication infrastructure in environments that often pose harsh conditions for electronic equipment.
Where computers are required to be placed away from the point of action, Icron’s ExtremeUSB® extenders bridge distance gaps of up to 10km.
Security
USB enabled security applications such as facial recognition, finger print imaging, and retinal scans are now common place.
Cameras are typically some distance away from control rooms and server storage banks, thus the need to extend beyond USB 3.0’s 3 meter distance limitation.
Office
In modern office and conference room settings, USB and video extension solutions are essential for seamless connectivity and efficient collaboration.
Icron extenders allow for the integration of high-definition video conferencing systems, interactive displays, and other peripherals.
