Founded in the late 90’s and based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Icron® envisioned and improved upon the capabilities of USBs for the modern world. One crucial improvement that Icron has initiated has been the extension of a USBs top range from sixteen feet to over one point two-four miles. The company has backed and is a proud associate of the USB Implementers Forum. It is not surprising that Icron’s ExtremeUSB extension technology product was the only example presented that came through and gained that group’s praise and endorsement. Such an achievement speaks for itself; the superiority of Icron’s products can be guaranteed. Icron technology is being used world wide fulfilling many roles. Icron’s industry partners (including Magenta Research and Netbotz) are all using Icron’s ExtremeUSB extension technology, confirming beyond question the true flexibility of the product.
The theory is that availability of advanced USB technology should hopefully benefit all customers. As a consequence, Icron has ensured that its versatile technology is easily obtainable. The ExtremeUSB kit is capable of many different configurations including branded and private-label USB Extender products or developer kits. Customers have the option when employing the Ranger and Rover products to re-brand them.
Icron’s product options cater to wide-ranging connection and powering options, outstripping distances provided by the common Cat Five. Relatively recently Icron has evolved the capacities of ExtremeUSB – the WiRanger Cable Free USB 2.0 hub.
Most peripherals – at variance with the WiRanger – don’t provide a combined package with wireless capacity and an in-built radio. In the absence of cables, the package arrives with a four-port hub and a USB attachment, providing a range of around thirty meters. All of these factors combined make the WiRanger one of the better and most convenient purchases available. Nonetheless, Icron develops many more USB wares in the 1.1/2.0 range. In conclusion, Icron has a well deserved reputation for excellence – their ExtremeUSB devices are stress tried out and can work in previously rough locales. Most importantly, Icron’s ambition is to develop answers to difficulties that might limit the deployment of USB technology.
