History

[edit]

The manufacturer was firstly founded in 1979, and their first products became available in 1981.[3]

In 1999, the company became a public company and established IOGEAR, a subsidiary with which focuses on consumer electronics and information technology which is US-based.[3][4]

In 2000, the company developed the first 4-port USB 2.0 hub, which became a USB testing standard for the USB Implementers Forum, Inc.[5]

The company went public in 2003 and has since remained the only listed KVM manufacturer in the world.[6]

In 2010, ATEN began offering professional-grade audio-visual (VanCryst) and green energy (NRGence) products, respectively.[7][8]

In 2012, ATEN collaborated with the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology to develop "iListen", software aimed at helping the hearing-impaired. The following year, ATEN joined the HDBaseT Alliance and began developing video extenders and matrices featuring HDBaseT technology.[9]
