Hub & Adapter Kit eliminates cords without compromising data transfer
speeds
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- IOGEAR today announced official
availability of the Wireless USB (W-USB) Hub & Adapter Kit (GUWH104KIT), a
USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) and FCC-certified solution. The product
enables residential and small and home office (SOHO) users to wirelessly
transfer files and data at speeds up to 480 Mbps.
IOGEAR's Hub can associate with up to three different laptops or PCs,
through W-USB adapters. It also features four USB ports and connects to
wired USB devices, such as printers, scanners, MP3 players and external
hard drives. The Adapter plugs into the PC and wirelessly communicates with
the Hub, which users can place up to 30 feet away.
With this complete W-USB solution, individuals can achieve fast
wireless communication between computers and USB peripherals, enabling
transmission of video, audio and picture files, as well as other
high-bandwidth data, at a low power consumption rate. With the Kit, files
can be transferred wirelessly, significantly reducing workstation cable
clutter due to excess wiring.
The product is compatible with current and future Certified W-USB
devices, and is backward interoperable with USB 1.0 solutions. Thanks to
WiMedia's Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM),
the Kit does not interfere with other wireless devices at home and work,
including cell phones, microwaves and Bluetooth devices.
"We are proud to be the first to bring a Certified W-USB solution to
consumer and SOHO markets," said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and
marketing at IOGEAR. "Following a thorough development process, we are
launching a product that eliminates excess wiring in the home and at the
office, without compromising transfer speeds and productivity. Through
collaboration with our partners, we are also ensuring individuals can use
IOGEAR's Wireless USB Hub & Adapter Kit with any future certified
products."
IOGEAR was the first to introduce Certified USB 2.0 to consumers in
2001. The development and availability of its Wireless USB Hub & Adapter
Kit further illustrates the company's trend in pioneering innovative
solutions.
The Kit is priced at $199.95 (MSRP) and is available immediately from
all major catalog and online resellers, as well as selected retail outlets.
