Com-port devices are still wide-spread and are used in industry, education, science, observation and monitoring branches, even games and mobile technologies branches.

At a time we can observe every day growing virtualization tendency. Serial port devices are requested on virtual platforms now.
Together with this, such strong tendency exists as getting remote access and the ability to reach many devices on one computer (e.g. operators in the laboratories).

Don't forget about lots of obsolete devices, rare or very expensive ones, which can be used by many people without need to purchase new equipment, or to go to the laboratory where it's established, or loose time waiting till the equipment is available etc.


What needs does COM@nywhere meet?



• Need to share com-device between many users
  
  
• Need to get remote access to serial equipment
  
  
• Need to accumulate data from multiple serial devices on 1 computer
  
  
• Need to get virtual com-ports connecting with physical ones. Speaking human language - when it is needed to get analogue of physical port which may not exist on your PC or is not available. Use as many COM devices as needed from your PC @anytime.
  
  
  
  In what situations COM@nywhere can be used?
  
  Those, who work with such equipment as:
  sensors
  controllers
  modem devices
  specific educational equipment
  specific medical equipment
  other rare and specific COM equipment.
  
  The software can be easily used as by end-users, so by industry operators, developers, virtual platforms creation development teams.
  
• When it is needed to view serial data remotely
  
  
• To get access to multiple COM devices from one place
  
  
• To control serial devices from any PC inside one network
  
  
• Use serial equipment even if it is on remote machine
  
  
• Transfer data from serial equipment over wireless/wired network
  
  All this is reached by means of creation of virtual com-ports and redirecting serial stream over network to physical ones, that's actually how it works.

  Why is it worth to use COM@nywhere?
  
  
• Because COM@nywhere can be characterized as such that can:
  
  
  
  As we promised - we apply such feature list to every solution.
  
  No need to purchase new hardware anymore, which by the way may cost a good deal of money
  
  No need to wait until it is free
  
  What if it is very rare or obsolete?
  
  No need to run from office to office or even to other country to work with it (we consider that it will sound especially attractive for universities and colleges which use specific hardware and may wish to share it with colleges or to train students - give access to the device to many students)
  
  No need to run from computer to computer - just get all data on your PC etc.
