The latest version, Version 5, is equipped with a function to link with the cloud service provided by Soliton with a management environment.
The Interop Tokyo 2022 Award Judging Committee commented “Soliton Systems, a pioneer of authentication technology, has evolved from a from a security vendor that was catering for IT engineers to a security vendor that can indulge the needs of all business people. The ease of usability takes away the burden from the IT manager. As a consequence, we presented them the Best of Show Award 2022 Special Jury Award in the Security Division category.”
The second Jury’s Special award was for the newly released Smart-telecaster™ Zao-X that live streams video with extreme ultra low latency over the cellular 4G and 5G network.
