Focus Universal Inc. (NASDAQ: FCUV) has officially established its Sales Division to support both its Universal Smart IoT solutions and its SEC financial reporting software. The company will showcase these technologies at CES 2026, highlighting innovative solutions that demonstrate next-generation Universal Smart IoT capabilities and AI-driven SEC financial reporting automation. The Focus Universal team will host meetings at Booth 10371, located in the North Hall Showcase of the Las Vegas Convention Center, from January 6-9, 2026.
By leveraging Focus Universal's Universal Smart IoT Platform, companies can save millions of dollars in development costs and multiple years of engineering time when designing new IoT products. The formal establishment of the Company's Sales Division marks the commencement of the commercialization of Focus Universal's technology. On the very first day following the Sales Division's formation, multiple companies expressed strong interest in the Company's products and solutions.
The Company's offerings extend beyond the Universal Smart IoT Platform to include next-generation smart devices that disrupt traditional hardware markets. 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.
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 large potential to change the world, but widespread adoption has been limited by high development costs and technical complexity. The customized nature of Internet of Things 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, 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.
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 the company to offer its IoT platform to customers at a fraction of the cost required to develop custom solutions.
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. IoT administrators can log into their accounts to monitor and control devices worldwide, showcasing capabilities that surpass traditional IoT deployments. Adding or removing sensors is as easy as installing an office phone, making building and expanding an IoT system a straightforward task rather than a complex research project.
Focus Universal's IoT project reflects the broader challenges facing the industry today. 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.
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.
SEC financial reporting is traditionally a complex, costly, and time-consuming process that 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. 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, and embed 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, 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.
Statista 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. The global Internet of Things market, valued at USD 1.18 trillion in 2023, is projected to reach US $2.65 trillion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 11.4% from 2024 to 2030. According to recent industry analysis, the Financial Reporting Software Market was valued at US $13.9 Billion in 2022 and is projected to grow to US $36.6 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.8%. The surge is driven by the increasing complexity of financial data, the high cost of compliance, and the need for scalable, efficient, and intelligent reporting tools.
