Founded in 2007, Cambrionix develops hardware and software which enables organisations to deploy mobile devices at scale. The company provides industry-leading products, with a particular focus on the software quality assurance, education, healthcare and retail sectors.
The product range includes bespoke USB hubs which allow customers to launch and configure, charge, update and monitor large numbers of mobile devices at the same time.
