Cables to Go to Ship Certified Wireless USB Hub
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--Cables To Go(TM), a leading provider of high-performance cabling and connectivity solutions, today announced a new Certified Wireless USB hub that eliminates USB cables between the device and the PC. Using a wireless hub, users can move around an office with their laptop while maintaining access to their USB devices such as printers, flash memory devices, scanners, cameras and MP3 players. Desktop users can benefit from moving all those devices off their desk to another location. The four-port hub has a 30-foot range and can accommodate up to three host computers. "At Cables To Go we are focused on quality and affordable connectivity, whether it is wired or wireless," said Bill Diederich, president of Lastar, parent company of Cables To Go. "With the new wireless USB hub, we are providing a unique design that will be competitively priced. It also expands our wireless capabilities and lays the foundation for future wireless solutions, such as wireless VGA." The Certified Wireless USB technology enables faster wireless data transfer rates than were previously available and provides for compatibility with most USB devices, making the certified hubs much more functional than their predecessors. The Wireless USB Hub from Cables To Go is based on chipsets from Texas-based Alereon. Alereon CEO Eric Broockman said, "Alereon is committed to eliminating the tangle of cables and wires that hamper user experience when it comes to PCs, laptops, mobile devices and peripherals. With proven Certified Wireless USB technology, Alereon and Cables To Go are working together to achieve designs that deliver reliable wireless capabilities to meet specific customer needs." The Wireless USB Hub will be available through Cables To Go channel partners in Q2 2008, and will be demonstrated at CES 2008 in Booth 20466 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
