According to the software giant, about 40 devices, such as industrial computers, have attained its IoT certification.

Microsoft is also to exhibit its virtual-reality technology and Windows 10¡¯s ability to bring users new visual experiences at its stand at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, the firm said.

Digital memory solution firm Adata Technology Co (Íþ„‚) said it plans to exhibit new generations of flash-memory products and disks during Asia¡¯s largest tech fair, which opens on Tuesday next week.

Adata said its solid-state drive ¡ª which uses version 3.0 of the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) standard ¡ª is more powerful than products that use an older serial AT attachment interface.
