GL.iNet Showcases Next-Gen Secure Remote Access Solution at Interop Tokyo 2026
Hong Kong, June 13, 2026 - GL.iNet, a leading developer specializing in OpenWrt-based networking and remote access solutions, showcased its latest innovations at Interop Tokyo 2026, held from June 10 to 12, 2026, in Chiba, Japan.
Marking GL.iNet's first appearance at Interop Tokyo and its first exhibition at a major Japanese technology event, the show represented an important milestone in the company's expansion into Japan. GL.iNet presented remote KVM solutions designed for enterprises managing distributed systems, headless devices, and remote deployments, alongside its latest Wi-Fi 7 travel routers.
The company's debut generated an exceptional surge in booth traffic. Throughout the three-day event, Booth #3S12 drew a steady stream of IT professionals, business partners, journalists, and longtime GL.iNet users eager to experience its Remote KVM solutions and Wi-Fi 7 travel routers firsthand.
Comet Q Turns Remote Control into an Everyday Solution
Comet Q (GL-RMQ1), a palm-sized all-in-one USB-C KVM, was the focus of one of the booth's most frequently requested live demonstrations, reflecting how uncommon remote KVM control remains for smartphones and tablets. Impressed by the capabilities packed into such a compact device, visitors repeatedly asked the team to demonstrate everyday tasks, including remotely unlocking a smartphone, navigating its interface, and checking the weather. Weighing just 78.5 grams, Comet Q combines video transmission, remote input, and passthrough charging in a compact form factor.
One use case resonated particularly strongly with the Japanese audience: enabling younger family members to remotely assist older relatives when they encounter difficulties using their smartphones. Instead of trying to explain unfamiliar settings over a phone call, family members could see and operate the device remotely to provide immediate and practical assistance.
Visitors expressed strong confidence in Comet Q's potential in Japan, noting that it could address a meaningful everyday need by helping families support older relatives without disrupting the way those relatives use their devices.
Strong Response to KVM and Wi-Fi 7 Travel Routers
GL.iNet's broader remote KVM lineup and next-generation Wi-Fi 7 travel routers also attracted significant attention. Visitors explored how the company combines portable hardware, secure connectivity, and remote management to solve practical challenges for travelers, IT teams, distributed businesses, and families.
The Wi-Fi 7 travel router lineup demonstrated how users can create a personal, secure network when connecting to networks in hotels, cafes, airports, and other shared environments. With OpenWrt-based flexibility, VPN support, multi-device connectivity, and portable designs, the routers are intended to provide a familiar and manageable network wherever users travel.
The full portfolio highlighted a consistent direction across GL.iNet's consumer and enterprise solutions: making secure connectivity and remote device management easier to deploy and more accessible in everyday use.
Powered by the People Who Use Our Products
Interop Tokyo also created memorable encounters with longtime GL.iNet users. Several visitors approached the team with messages such as, "I've been using your products for years, it's great to finally meet you in person." One engineer told the team, "I've been using your router for two years. It just works. Everywhere."
The products also attracted media interest. After experiencing the demonstrations, journalists and technology reviewers requested additional information about GL.iNet's remote KVM portfolio and Wi-Fi 7 travel routers, reflecting growing interest in the company's approach to secure networking and remote control.
"Two years ago, I walked this show as a visitor. This year, I came back as an exhibitor," said Amy Fei, Vice President of Sales at GL.iNet. "It was wonderful to see the excitement around our KVMs and Wi-Fi 7 travel routers, but what mattered most was hearing how our devices actually help people in their daily lives. We want to build technology that genuinely helps and quietly makes life better."
Building for the Japanese Market
GL.iNet’s first Interop Tokyo exhibition provided an opportunity to better understand the expectations of Japanese customers, IT professionals, and potential business partners. Feedback collected at the show reinforced the demand for reliable remote management, secure portable networking, accessible product experiences, and technology that integrates naturally into users’ existing routines. These conversations will help inform GL.iNet’s continued product localization, Japanese-language support, and partner ecosystem development.
GL.iNet extends its sincere thanks to every customer, partner, journalist, and technology enthusiast who visited the booth, shared feedback, discussed new possibilities, or simply stopped by to say hello. The enthusiasm of longtime users and the excitement of those discovering GL.iNet for the first time continue to be a powerful source of motivation for the company.
Interop Tokyo 2026 was more than an opportunity to demonstrate new technology. It was a reminder that useful innovation begins with real people and real needs. GL.iNet remains committed to creating secure, accessible, and thoughtfully designed tools that make connectivity and remote control simpler for everyone.
