Silex Introduces World's First Wireless USB Device Server With Streaming Video
and Audio Data Transfer
New Isochronous Capability Enhances Company's Leadership in USB Networking
Technology

    TUSTIN, Calif., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Silex Technology today announced
the SX-2000WG+ USB device server with isochronous data transfer support. The
SX-2000WG+ allows streaming video and audio USB devices like webcams and
speakers to be easily shared among multiple Windows and Macintosh users over
an 802.11b/g wireless network or an Ethernet wired network. The SX-2000WG+
also supports virtually all other types of USB devices, making it ideal for
home and small business applications.
    The SX-2000WG+ is the latest in Silex's family of industry-leading USB
device server products. Like all Silex USB device servers, the SX-2000WG+ uses
the innovative SX Virtual Link software to provide transparent network access
to USB devices. SX Virtual Link emulates a direct USB port on Windows or
Macintosh systems and transfers the packets out over the network to the
SX-2000WG+. It is totally compatible with virtually all USB device drivers and
software applications.
    "The SX-2000WG+ further strengthens our leadership position in networking
USB devices," said Keith Sugawara, General Manager of Silex Technology
America.
"With the addition of isochronous support, users can now share virtually any
kind of USB device over a wireless or wired network. No other company can
match our capabilities and compatibility in this market."
    The SX-2000WG+ supports 802.11b/g wireless network connectivity, 10/100
autosensing Ethernet, and USB 2.0 Hi-Speed device connectivity (isochronous
devices are limited to USB 2.0 Full-Speed). It will be available this month
through Silex distribution channels for $149 MSRP. Silex is also targeting OEM
partners who want to easily add connectivity to devices.
