Electronic Team

What Electronic Team does

Electronic Team, Inc. is a privately-held software company founded in 2001 (originally as Eltima) and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with roughly 50-70 employees. The company develops and sells a portfolio of specialized software products built around its proprietary Port Virtualization Technology, which enables USB and serial port devices to be redirected and accessed remotely over LAN, the Internet, RDP, and Citrix protocols. Core offerings include USB Network Gate, Virtual Serial Port Driver, FlexiHub, Serial to Ethernet Connector, Donglify, and Serial Port Monitor, with the Port Virtualization Technology also licensed as an SDK/OEM component for embedding into third-party cloud platforms, SCADA systems, and industrial automation solutions.

The company operates a multi-segment business model: one-time perpetual software licenses for individual and SMB buyers via direct website downloads and a global reseller network spanning 40+ countries; recurring subscription revenue from FlexiHub and the Eltima AI Headshot Generator iOS app; and multi-year enterprise OEM/SDK licensing contracts with cloud and industrial customers. Beyond its enterprise heritage, Electronic Team also maintains a portfolio of consumer Mac and iOS applications (Elmedia Player, Commander One, Folx, CloudMounter, MacDroid, JustStream, DoCast, TVRem) and has recently extended into generative-AI consumer apps.

Go-to-market combines product-led growth (self-serve downloads with free trials) for individual/SMB buyers, direct enterprise field sales for SDK/OEM engagements, and a global channel partner program for international distribution. Named customers and partners include Paperspace, Scalable Graphics, Xcel Energy, St. John Police Department, GIPA, NetBurner, and Advantage Software, with claimed reach of 1m+ users across 186+ countries. The company is founder-controlled, has no disclosed institutional investors, and has not raised external funding.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Digi International: Established provider of serial device servers, console servers, and IoT connectivity hardware used in industrial automation. Competes in adjacent layers of the same stack (network-enabling serial devices) but with a broader IoT/M2M portfolio rather than virtualization software specialization.
• Moxa: Industrial connectivity and networking hardware vendor offering NPort serial device servers and USB-to-serial converters used in SCADA environments. Overlaps with Electronic Team's industrial-automation customers at the hardware layer rather than the software-virtualization layer.
• Lantronix: Public company providing IoT and out-of-band management connectivity including serial console servers and device networking. Competes for similar industrial and IT-management budgets with broader networking hardware and software offerings.
• CloudMounter: Cloud-storage mounting software (note: shares a product-name overlap with Electronic Team's CloudMounter Mac app). Listed here only as a broader cloud-connectivity adjacency; direct product overlap is limited to the cloud-mounting utility space.
• Perle Systems: Long-established manufacturer of serial-to-Ethernet device servers and terminal servers used to network-enable COM-port equipment in industrial environments. Serves overlapping SCADA and remote-access use cases via hardware rather than software virtualization.
• Aten International: KVM, connectivity, and remote-access hardware/software vendor serving enterprise IT and industrial-control markets. Overlaps with Electronic Team on remote device access, though Aten's core franchise is KVM switches and Pro AV/IT infrastructure.

Direct peers

• FabulaTech: Direct competitor in USB and serial port virtualization software, offering USB over Network, Serial Port Splitter, Virtual Serial Port Kit, and SDK products with comparable redirect-over-Ethernet functionality targeting similar industrial and enterprise use cases.
• SEH Technology: German-headquartered vendor of USB-over-IP and serial-over-IP device servers and software, overlapping directly with USB Network Gate and Serial to Ethernet Connector in redirecting peripherals across network boundaries for enterprise customers.

Emerging players

• Splashtop: Remote-desktop and remote-access SaaS provider with USB device redirection capabilities built into its remote-session product. Competes indirectly via cloud-hosted remote-access bundles that may include native USB passthrough, overlapping with FlexiHub's SMB use case.
• Tibbo Technology: Provider of serial-to-Ethernet modules, IoT controllers, and embedded connectivity solutions targeting industrial automation and embedded-systems developers. Competes in similar serial-networking use cases with a more hardware/module-centric product mix.
