Remote USB Redirection (Passthrough): Uncompromising Compatibility
Excellence in remote work requires much more than just smooth image transmission. For companies and professionals operating in high-precision or high-security environments, accessing local physical peripherals from a remote session is a critical requirement.
Whether it’s a security key, a graphics tablet, or a video editing controllers, the remote tool must respond instantly, exactly as if it were plugged directly under the desk. This is the entire purpose of remote USB Passthrough.
At Reemo, we master this redirection chain from end to end. Powered by the Reemo USB Companion, our robust proprietary technology, we virtualize your USB ports to ensure total transparency, imperceptible latency, and perfect compatibility with HID (Human Interface Device) peripherals and complex data streams (COM port simulation).
One protocol, endless possibilities
By freeing USB passthrough from hardware constraints, Reemo paves the way for advanced professional workflows in industries where technical demands are at their highest.
Digital Creation & VFX Studios
Reemo’s redirection preserves all pressure data, stylus tilt, and the overall responsiveness of the Wacom ecosystem (Cintiq, Intuos). Artists regain a perfect stroke and absolute fluidity on their remote creation software.
High-Level Sports Analysis
Used notably by NFL franchises, our technology allows coaches to control their tactical video replay software down to the tenth of a second. The system natively supports instant redirection for professional editing controllers (such as the ShuttlePRO) or specific devices simulating COM ports (FT232 models like Catapult / DVSport).
Security & Strong Authentication
Reemo passthrough natively manages hardware security keys (such as YubiKeys). This allows organizations to strictly maintain their Zero Trust security and strong authentication policies, even for remote employees.
Simplified USB redirection: how does it work?
Our technical philosophy is clear: complex power must remain invisible to the user. The core engine of our USB Companion module relies on an ultra-secure virtual bridge, meticulously optimized to overcome bandwidth fluctuations.
The entire process unfolds in three simple steps:
- The remote environment is ready: The manufacturer’s drivers for your device are installed on the remote server. On Windows, the Reemo Agent natively embeds our virtual USB driver. On Linux, no driver is required.
- The universal local bridge: The user simply installs our lightweight executable, the Reemo USB Companion, on their local workstation (compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux).
- 1-click activation: From the Reemo WebClient, a dedicated menu displays the connected devices. The user selects their device and clicks Connect.
Instantly, the remote server detects the physical insertion of the device. The hardware is ready to use immediately, with no complex configuration or administrator privileges required from the end user.
