widely-read computer or business magazine, with a 2008 PC World 25 Most
Innovative Products Award for its Wireless USB (W-USB) Hub & Adapter
Kit (GUWH104KIT).
A 2008 CES Innovations award honoree, a USB Implementers Forum
(USB-IF) and FCC-certified W-USB Hub & Adapter kit enables
residential and small and home office (SOHO) users to wirelessly
transfer files and data at speeds up to 480 Mbps.
"These are among the most inventive and trend-setting products
available, breaking the traditional boundaries while pushing the limits
of technology," stated Harry McCracken, VP/editor-in-chief of PC
World. "These winners help define industry standards and raise the
bar for creativity in the future. Congratulations to IOGEAR's W-USB
Hub & Adapter Kit."
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 external hard drives printers,
MP3 players and scanners. 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.
