IoT connectivity

OptConnect has announced the release of ema:USB, described as the first smart USB modem. This product is designed to simplify the process of integrating cellular connectivity into various hardware setups, reducing the usual delays and complexities.

The core of ema:USB features the OptConnect ema, a patented embedded modem that has achieved full certification as an LTE Category 4 device. This certification helps users avoid the costs and challenges associated with developing embedded wireless designs.

Wi-Fi 7 technology, the latest in wireless networking, has reached a major milestone with the introduction of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 -- a certification program by Wi-Fi Alliance. Keep in mind, this certification is not really introducing new technology, but rather, affirming the robustness and interoperability of the existing Wi-Fi 7 that many early adopters are already using.

This program guarantees that Wi-Fi 7's advanced features are uniformly deployed, ensuring high-quality user experiences across various devices and applications. This certification plays a critical role in reinforcing the technology's reliability for high throughput, deterministic latency, and critical traffic handling.
