One such revolutionary product is the Ubiquitor, a universal multi-sensor smart device designed to replace single-function, standalone traditional devices in both cost and functionality.The Ubiquitor can connect to virtually any type of sensor - and theoretically an unlimited number of sensors. As additional sensors are integrated, the average cost of the Ubiquitor per sensor becomes negligible. Consequently, the effective system cost approaches the cost of the sensors themselves, which is already significantly lower than that of traditional devices.When deployed in conjunction with Focus Universal’s Universal Smart IoT Platform, total product development costs are reduced to a fraction of conventional approaches, delivering substantial savings in raw materials, engineering resources, and time-to-market.IoT has long been recognized as a revolutionary technology with the large potential to change the world - ranking as the top transformative technology, widespread adoption has been limited by high development costs and technical complexity. The customized nature of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and projects often require bespoke design built from scratch, leading to skyrocketing development and implementation costs. Dedicating decades to researching and overcoming these specific challenges, resulting in Universal Smart IoT, Focus Universal has developed an innovative platform that radically simplifies IoT development and dramatically reduces associated costs.Unlike traditional IoT systems, where engineers start from scratch for each new device, the company’s platform provides a pre-built common foundation. Utilizing Focus’ platform, different IoT devices can share roughly 90% of the same hardware and software, substantially reducing development costs and complexity. This unique approach not only accelerates time-to-market but also democratizes access to IoT solutions.Further enhancing this ecosystem is Focus Universal’s Universal Smart Software Platform, which eliminates the need for multiple device-specific applications. Engineers no longer need to build separate apps for each IoT product - the company’s platform supports them all without sacrificing performance or functionality, according to the company technology lead. This streamlined app development process can significantly cut costs and improve efficiency, allowing us to offer the company’s IoT platform to customers at a fraction of the cost required to develop custom solutions.Superiority of IoT Over Traditional Non-IoT Devices The advantages of adopting IoT devices over traditional non-IoT devices are significant. IoT devices offer real-time data collection, remote monitoring, and automated control, which greatly improve efficiency and reduce manual labor. They enhance accuracy, minimize human error, and enable predictive maintenance that can prevent costly downtime. IoT systems also provide increased scalability, seamless integration with cloud platforms, and valuable analytics that support smarter decision-making. In contrast, traditional devices operate in isolation, require more hands-on management, and cannot deliver the same level of insight or automation.What Groundbreaking IoT Solutions Will Be Unveiled at CES 2026Full-Fledged IoT System: At CES, Focus Universal will demonstrate a 100% complete IoT system, integrating hundreds or even thousands of industrial sensors and cameras across multiple locations, including the U.S. and overseas.

Building and expanding an IoT system becomes a straightforward task, rather than a complex research project.Efficient Hardware Utilization: Unlike traditional IoT devices, where each sensor typically connects to a dedicated device, Universal Smart IoT allows multiple sensors to share a single device. This significantly reduces hardware requirements and costs.Reliable Backup Solutions: While hundreds or thousands of sensors share the same device, a malfunction could potentially impact all connected sensors. Universal Smart IoT provides backup solutions: if the main device fails, a backup device takes over seamlessly, allowing maintenance personnel to replace the faulty device without interrupting overall IoT operations.Sensor-Dependent Apps: CES will also showcase sensor-dependent applications. Adding or removing sensors dynamically changes the user interface, enabling engineers to focus on specific sensor modules rather than the entire IoT system. The Universal Smart IoT platform handles up to 90% of IoT design, dramatically simplifying deployment and management.Cost Efficiency: Traditional IoT devices require displays, knobs, buttons, built-in circuitry, and device-specific functions. With Universal Smart IoT, everything except the sensor module is eliminated. This dramatically cuts hardware costs and streamline production.Universality & Interoperability: All functionalities traditionally scattered across separate IoT devices are integrated into a single, unified platform. Sensors and actuators from different categories operate seamlessly together, enabling unprecedented interoperability and reusability.Flexibility: Adding or modifying functionality only requires updating the sensor software. In contrast, traditional IoT devices often require new hardware, redesigned circuits, or even new enclosures - making changes slow, expensive, and time-consuming. Universal Smart IoT also enables flexible data sharing and handling, overcoming the limitations of proprietary IoT architecture.Broad Compatibility: Compatibility goes beyond manufacturers’ it spans across industries. With full interoperability and true interchangeability, the long-awaited dream of a universal IoT ecosystem is finally becoming realityUpgradeability: Highly modular design allows future hardware and software upgrades to build directly on existing IoT infrastructure rather than reinventing the wheelExpandability and Scalability: Unlike traditional IoT systems that support only fixed vendor-defined sensors, Universal Smart IoT allows users to connect anywhere from a few sensors to hundreds or even thousands - of any type, in any combination, even from multiple vendors.Security: Built-in sensor-level security safeguards measurement and control functionality, helping organizations comply with sensor security requirements and preventing unauthorized access.Modularity: Highly modular design minimizes development, testing, maintenance, and support time - freeing engineers to focus on innovation instead of infrastructure.Fast Prototyping: Time-to-market is critical.

After more than 20 years of research and development and over $20 million invested, it is clear that the traditional approach to building IoT systems is costly, slow, and inefficient. It is unrealistic - and economically impractical - for 19.8 billion IoT devices worldwide to repeat this same expensive development process, which is a major reason so many IoT projects fail.However, if these 19.8 billion devices leverage a single Universal Smart IoT common platform instead of starting from scratch, the economics change completely. Even though $20 million is a substantial investment, spread across the global IoT device base, the average development cost per device becomes negligible. IoT customers gain all the benefits of advanced IoT capabilities without bearing the prohibitive costs.Competitors that refuse to adopt a universal platform must continue spending heavily, which often leads to failure. Industry surveys confirm this reality: Cisco reports a 75% IoT project failure rate, and Microsoft found that 30% of projects fail at the early proof-of-concept stage. Focus Universal’s patented technology - backed by decades of R&D and significant investment - creates a substantial barrier to entry, making it extremely difficult for competitors to replicate or match these capabilities.What Groundbreaking AI-Driven SEC Financial Reporting Software Will Be Unveiled at CES 2026SEC financial reporting is traditionally a complex, costly, and time-consuming process. The entire process may take several weeks. Delays in filing can result in SEC reviews, enforcement actions, and significant penalties. Focus Universal, by contrast, has developed a fully automated, end-to-end solution powered by both automation and Variegated AI, whereby Focus believes the technology enables the computer to conduct the activities for which the computer is designed and optimal and allows the human to remain within the decision loop and center upon what the human excels. With a single click, the company’s software can:Retrieve financial statements from accounting platforms,Reformat data into spreadsheets for consolidated financial reporting,Automatically generate consolidated financials,Populate the word-processed version of SEC filings,Convert the documents to SEC-compliant versions via EDGARization, andEmbed accurate tags into the HTML file - with very limited manual input. Built-in validation, including self-consistency and compliance checks, ensures accuracy and eliminates human error. Essentially, Focus believes what once took months of manual work can now be completed in minutes. Edgarization is the process of converting source documents - such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or PDF files - into the SEC-compliant Edgar HTML format. Traditionally, this process handles only ten pages per hour. The company’s software, however, can process a hundred-page SEC financial report in a few seconds. Focus Universal is partnering with industry-leading partners to conduct real-time testing of this technology.Immense Dual Market OpportunitiesStatista reports that the number of IoT devices worldwide is expected to grow from 19.8 billion in 2025 to more than 40.6 billion by 2034.
