Focus Universal Announces Certification of Universal Smart IoT Devices

MONTEREY PARK, CA - August 20, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Focus Universal Inc. (Nasdaq: FCUV) ("Focus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the certification process of Universal Smart Device and associated sensors was completed by accredited laboratories GRG Metrology & Test Group Co., Ltd. and Centre Testing International Group Co., Ltd.

Focus Universal’s universal smart device, pH sensor, total dissolved solids (TDS) sensor, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensor, total dissolved oxygen sensor, and turbidity sensors have passed and certified by these accredited laboratories in Asia. The certificates and reports issued by the accredited laboratories have international credibility and can help Focus steadily develop both the local and global markets.

IoT has long been recognized as a technology capable of transforming the world, yet widespread adoption has been limited by high R&D costs, technical complexity, and long development cycles. Focus’ Universal Smart IoT platform is designed to address these challenges. Instead of engineers developing customized IoT systems from scratch, they can use the platform as a common foundation, potentially eliminating up to 90% of the hardware and software development normally required.

Focus’ goal has been to make IoT as simple and cost-effective as traditional standalone devices while providing the capabilities of a full IoT system. Achieving this required more than 20 years of development - not only to establish the Universal Smart IoT platform, but also to develop compatible industrial sensors and demonstrate that the technology is practical, scalable, and commercially viable.

“The completion of the certification process is therefore a significant step forward. It removes a key commercialization barrier and allows us to move from technology development toward broader domestic and international market deployment. Obtaining the required certifications for our Universal Smart IoT devices and industrial sensors removes a major barrier to commercialization and enables us to market our products domestically and globally,” Dr. Desheng Wang, CEO of Focus Universal Inc. said.

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 (IoT) 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. Yet despite this tremendous growth potential, industry surveys show that most IoT projects fail - Cisco reports a 75% failure rate, while Microsoft found that 30% of projects fail at the early proof-of-concept stage. Focus Universal's Universal Smart IoT technology was specifically developed to address these challenges, unlock the full potential of the IoT revolution, and bring this groundbreaking solution to the global base of 19.8 billion IoT device users. By delivering up to 90% cost savings and unprecedented simplification of IoT deployment, the technology plays a decisive role in accelerating IoT adoption worldwide
