Silex MAC OS X 10.11 El Capitan Update

On June 2nd, we shared that Apple has started working with us to help resolve the incompatibility between our USB over IP products and the MAC OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).  The next step is that Silex Technology will be sending two engineers to participate in Apple Engineering Workshop during the first week of August at Apple Headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Our USB over IP business is an important part of our Device Networking product category. We are the global leader in this space, with approximately 20 million devices that incorporate our technology. We are doing everything possible to find a solution for you.

The new software interface introduced in El Capitan became incompatible with our USB over IP technology which makes USB devices available over IP technology on Apple computers. The following Silex products are impacted:

  • Silex Virtual Link SDK (SVL)
  • USB Virtual Link SDK (UVL)
  • SX 3000GB – USB Device server
  • SX DS 3000WN – USB Device server
  • DS 510 – USB device server
  • SX DS 4000U2 – USB Device server

We will keep you updated to our progress but are optimistic that we will be sharing good news in August.  We sincerely apologize to all of you for experiencing the inconvenience during this time.
