In today’s world of hybrid work and flexible meeting environments, two acronyms frequently pop up in discussions about conference room technology: BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting). While they might seem similar at first glance, these concepts address different needs and priorities when it comes to connecting personal devices to professional AV systems. Let’s break down what each term means and how they differ.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a widely adopted interface standard for connecting devices to computers, enabling the transfer of data, power, and communication between devices. The USB protocol is a set of rules and standards that govern device communication over a USB connection, making it essential knowledge for individuals working with USB devices or developing USB-based applications. The USB protocol defines the structure of data packets, the timing of data transfer, and the electrical characteristics of the connection.
Sometimes we hear from customers who have used our programmable USB hubs for unusual applications. Maybe one of these examples will help solve your problem!
Between backward compatibility and future-proofing, working with technology sometimes feels like it requires both a history degree and a crystal ball.
But predicting the future of USB power delivery technology isn't a guessing game. Here at Acroname, we've noticed some clear trends in where the industry is headed.
Today, we're sharing three market trends in USB PD that we predict will only continue to become more and more prevalent.
USB class codes are a system used to define the functionality and purpose of USB devices without needing specific drivers for each individual device. These class codes allow operating systems to use generic drivers based on the type of device connected, streamlining compatibility and development.
Sometimes we hear from customers who have used our programmable USB hubs for unusual applications. Maybe one of these surprising USBHub3+ Application examples will help solve your problem!
Lets look at the first unique application of the USBHUB3+:
USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is a crucial aspect of USB-C technology, allowing for faster charging and increased power delivery capabilities of up to 240 Watts! If you haven't checked out our blog on The USB-C Connection Statemachine, we recommend reading that first. When a USB-C connection is in an attached state, USB PD negotiation occurs between the source and sink devices, allowing for the negotiation of power delivery modes and values.
Over the past decade, there has been a growing trend in workplaces toward allowing employees to “bring their own device” (BYOD). Although this approach has some advantages, you should consider several significant disadvantages before implementing a BYOD policy.
This ultimate guide will go through the pros and cons of BYOD (the Bring Your Own Device policy) that you should consider as a head of a department in the workplace or institute.
The specter of ransomware lockers haunts every organization — and the fear is justified.
Ransomware is worse than malware: systems and data are all locked up, and backups are all encrypted, too. Everything connected to the physical machines or connected to the Internet gets locked down.
Your organization stops operating. Nothing can move forward. Ransoms must be paid, and trust in your organization and systems is lost forever.
United States Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo recently announced that ransomware attacks "are here to stay."
Yeah, we know. That's why we've told anyone who will listen that organizations need offline backups of their systems and data using a superior, industrial, and programmable USB hub. Rotating offline onsite backups will save your backside in today’s cyberattack-happy world.
