    Software to make mobile device management simpler

    So you’ve got your high-speed, smart USB hubs and you’re ready to start managing your mobile device pool. But how do you do that? Isn’t it complicated?

    Behind the scenes, yes, it’s complicated. But because we know that it’s not just developers using our products, we have developed specialist software to make managing our smart USB hubs much easier.

    There is the Cambrionix API, which is software designed by developers, for developers, to help integrate with your tech stack.

    What is an API?

    For those of you who don’t necessarily need to know this stuff ordinarily, we thought we’d give a quick explanation. ­­­

    An API (which stands for Application Programming Interface) is essentially the means by which different computer programs speak to each other. They are used to save developers huge amounts of time, reducing the amount of code they need to create and making certain functions or processes consistent and quick. APIs can help to process and control both hardware and software resources.

    You might think of them as a short-cut to performing certain functions – or a set of building blocks. If you were building an app for an iPhone, for example, and wanted it to include a timer function, search function or perhaps a web browser, you could use existing APIs provided by Apple (or its partners) to do those things rather than coding them yourself from scratch.

    At Cambrionix, our developers have created the API by which you can control and manage your USB hubs easily and effectively. It saves time by making it easier for you to manage your mobile device pool from a computer en masse, rather than having to charge, check, provision or manage each device individually.

    The Cambrionix API

    Our software is designed to increase your productivity. It’s designed for developers, by developers, and allows you to monitor and manage mobile devices, tablets etc via our smart USB hubs.

    The Cambrionix API gives you the flexibility of an independent app, integrating into your stack to enable data transfer, device charging and much more in your workflow.

    Designed from the ground up to perform consistently and provide a solid platform for future application development, the Cambrionix API is fully JSON-RPC compliant. It’s faster than ever, provides easy detection whenever a device is attached, and provides smooth transitions, with demo scripts supplied for major features. You’ll find that existing API scripts just work – without the need to be modified.

    It is designed specifically to make it easier and quicker to integrate Cambrionix smart USBs with your favourite platforms, tools or internal services for testing, monitoring, managing and development. It has been developed to support the latest technologies, including additional feature improvements for USB3 and Thunderbolt, as well as plenty of customised and brand-new features to make both everyday and advanced functions significantly easier.

      Q&A

      • Why can't SQA teams rely on simulators alone?

        Simulators cannot reproduce real-world hardware behaviours, OEM-specific differences, biometric flows, camera and performance constraints, or network variability. Final validation of any software release must run on physical devices to confirm it behaves correctly across the full range of devices your users own.

      • What causes device dropouts during automated testing?

        Device dropouts during automated testing are most commonly caused by USB infrastructure that cannot sustain the combined data and power demands of large device fleets under heavy workloads. Consumer-grade USB 2 and USB 3 hubs lack the bandwidth, stability, and power delivery capability required for enterprise-scale SQA environments. Purpose-built solutions with Thunderbolt architecture and intelligent Power Delivery eliminate this problem.

      • How does AI development affect real-device testing requirements?

        AI-assisted development increases the speed and frequency of software releases. Every release still requires validation on real hardware before deployment, which means the volume of real-device testing increases in direct proportion to the pace of AI-driven development. Teams that do not scale their real-device testing infrastructure risk becoming the bottleneck in an otherwise accelerated development pipeline.

      • What is intelligent Power Delivery in USB hub testing solutions?

        Intelligent Power Delivery (PD) allows a USB hub to consistently allocate the right level of charging power to each connected device based on its requirements and battery state. In SQA environments, this prevents devices from losing charge during long automated test runs, reduces unnecessary charging that degrades battery health over time, and ensures all tests complete successfully even under heavy parallel workloads.

      • How do Cambrionix hubs integrate with automated testing workflows?

        The Cambrionix Connect software provides an API and CLI for programmatic control of individual ports and devices. Teams can remotely manage device connectivity, reboot devices, schedule charging sessions, and monitor real-time device status without physical access to the lab. These capabilities can be combined with third-party tools such as Apple Configurator and other test automation frameworks, allowing teams to incorporate Cambrionix hubs into broader automated workflows and device management pipelines.
