In response to the coming era of Internet of Things (IoT), the TS-253A innovatively supports the open-source operating system Ubuntu® as a gateway for IoT solutions to other smart devices. The TS-253A allows users to directly utilize various feature-rich Ubuntu apps, enjoying a private cloud combining storage and IoT applications, and professional developers can develop and run IoT applications directly on the TS-253A.
