Gefen Launches Wireless USB Solution
Based On ExtremeUSB At Infocomm 07
The wireless USB 2.0 extender compliments Gefen's
wide range of solutions focused at the pro audio/video and home connectivity market.
Burnaby BC., June 19, 2007 – Icron Technologies Corporation
(TSX Venture: IT), the developers of ExtremeUSB® announced
that Gefen Inc, of Woodland Hills, California, has launched
a wireless USB 2.0 extender based on Icron’s ExtremeUSB
technology at this year's InfoComm 07 show in Anaheim, CA
from June 19th to the 21st.
The Gefen wireless USB extender supports the connection of
hi-speed USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices up to 100 feet from the computer.
It works with both Apple (OSX) and PC (Windows, Linux) systems
using Icron Technologies’ ExtremeUSB based on 802.11g
technology. The receiver is a four-port USB hub that can support
multiple devices by adding additional hubs. Data can be delivered
at high speeds, thanks to optimized circuitry.
"We believe this reliable and wireless method of USB
extension will significantly enhance the way systems operate
well into the future," said Hagai Gefen, president and
CEO. "Subsequent versions will also support multiple
receiver hubs connected to one sender unit, allowing a same
time distribution that delivers data real-time with no cables."
Like most of Gefen's extender solutions, the wireless USB
2.0 extender uses small sender and receiver units connected
to the computer and to the extended USB devices. No cables
are needed to link sender to the receiver, which allows connection
to cameras, keyboards, printers, hard drives or any USB 2.0
devices at distances up to 100 feet away.
“We are pleased that our partnership with Gefen continues
to grow with the addition of the wireless USB 2.0 product
to their portfolio.” stated Robert Eisses, President
and CEO of Icron Technologies. ”Hagai and his team are
the industry leaders in providing high quality solutions to
the pro audio video market, and the home connectivity space.”
Gefen's plug and play wireless USB 2.0 extender requires no
upgrades, software installation, or user configuration and
is compatible with all USB devices working on all operating
systems. Demos will be provided throughout Infocomm 07 at
Booth 6237, and the product is expected to be available for
sale by show time.
