Redefining Connectivity and Security for the KX9980 5K DisplayPort Dual Display KVM over IP Extender

.

Taipei, Taiwan (Feb. 13, 2026) - ATEN International, the leading provider of KVM and AV/IT connectivity and management solutions, today announced a major evolution for the KX9980 5K DisplayPort Dual Display KVM over IP, featuring industry-first technologies that redefine remote performance and security. By integrating USB 3.2 for high-speed data transfers and VM (virtual machines) support via KVM-based IT/OT network separation, the KX9980 delivers transformative value across diverse control room sectors. This provides remote mastery with mission-critical support for broadcasting, industrial control, NOCs, energy, transportation, medical training, imaging, and traffic management.

In a significant leap for remote connectivity, the KX9980 features industry-first KVM over IP with USB 3.2 support. This allows users to access and control high-speed peripherals over an IP connection with the real-time reliability of a local setup. The KX9980 ensures fluid peripheral response for precision tasks and rapid data transfers, keeping remote workflows effortless regardless of distance. This technological breakthrough makes remote high-speed USB access a reality, empowering professionals in data-intensive sectors to maintain peak productivity.

Beyond remote console monitoring, the KX9980 receiver introduces an industry-first, VM support via KVM-based IT/OT network separation. By featuring a local PC console dedicated to mission-critical operations, it allows seamless access to both physical servers and virtualized environments while keeping the physical OT infrastructure strictly isolated. This robust, hardware-based isolation not only bolsters operational security but also maintains total system integrity, ensuring continuous uptime and ironclad protection even in the event of a network breach or system downtime.

“As control rooms evolve toward more decentralized and virtualized environments, the need for fluid, secure integration has never been greater,” said Nicholas Lin, Senior Vice President of ATEN International. “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 organizations to bridge the gap between remote mastery and mission-critical support. This allows operators to switch securely between complex systems while maintaining the stringent security assurance and exceptional near-native performance that modern control rooms demand.”
