Icron Technologies' WiRanger USB 2.0 hub offers a four-port hub and dongle set that will enable true plug-and-play wireless connectivity, without additional software drivers, for any USB device.

The WiRanger combines Icron's ExtremeUSB and standard 802.11g radio technology to provide connectivity at 30 meters plus, on any operating system including PC or MAC.

The benefits of using a standard 802.11 radio include, better range, proven technology, immediate and global market acceptance, and a roadmap with 802.11n to faster data rates that exceed most if not all current USB device requirements.

WiRanger allows people to wirelessly connect USB devices such as printers, scanners, web cams, hard drives, and MP3 players to their PCs or MACs within a room or throughout their home, office or factory.

This product will be the first in a growing family of Cable Free USB 2.0 solutions utilizing a variety of wireless technologies including UWB and 802.11 to meet different application requirements in the industrial, military, prosumer, medical and commercial markets.
