Wireless USB on the Way
|

|
At CES this year, several vendors showed off such devices as wireless docking stations
for laptops and wireless USB hubs. The trend indicated that wires and cables were passé, and when technology can go
wireless, it should. Now Gefen, makers of A/V equipment, cabling, and home theatre accessories, is planning to release a
4-port wireless USB hub it claims is the first of its kind to hit the market. The wireless Ultra Wide Band (UWB)
receiver takes up one USB port on your computer, and has a range of up to 60 feet. Gefen claims you'll see transfer
rates of up to 70 Mbps, and that the wireless hub supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0, and will work on both Windows PCs and Macintosh
computers. The product isn't available to order yet, but for $399, Gefen will take your pre-order and ship it when it's
released. Source: GEARlog |
