ATEN International has unveiled a major update to its ATEN KX9980 5K DisplayPort Dual Display KVM over IP extender, introducing new technologies aimed at improving remote performance and security in mission-critical control room environments.
The upgraded KX9980 integrates USB 3.2 support for high-speed data transfers and introduces virtual machine (VM) support through KVM-based IT/OT network separation. The enhancements are designed to support sectors such as broadcasting, industrial control, network operations centres, energy, transportation, medical imaging and traffic management, where reliable remote system access is essential.
The addition of USB 3.2 enables users to access and control high-speed peripherals over an IP connection with near-local responsiveness, supporting data-intensive workflows and precision tasks while maintaining stable remote connectivity.
“By delivering industry-first USB 3.2 for high-speed data transfers and industry-first VM support via KVM-based IT/OT network separation within our KX9980 KVM over IP extender, we empower organisations to bridge the gap between remote mastery and mission-critical support.”
