Olidata Intro Wireless USB Set Utilising Wisair WSR601 Chip

Tweet

Olidata yesterday took the wraps off their new Wireless USB Set which utilises the Wisair WSR601 Chip allowing, according to Olidata’s press release, ‘users to wirelessly connect from their laptop/desktop to a range of USB devices, which can be placed anywhere in the room’.

Olidata’s Wireless USB Set, which supports WUSB 128-bit AES, takes the form of a pair of USB adapters (one for the PC, another for the device to be connected wirelessly) allowing peripherals such as hard disk drives, printers, digital still cameras, camcorders, CD/DVD writers and hubs to be hooked up, as the products name would suggest, without the need for cabling and with the minimum of fuss via a ‘simple, standard-Windows setup’ (which may, or may not, transpire to be quite as simple as suggested – certainly in our experience). Interestingly, however, one should not that the product specs clearly state that the operational range of Olidata’s Wireless USB Set is ‘up to 30 feet line of sight’ (our emphasis).

Olidata’s Wireless USB Set will set you back from around €60. [Thanks Steve]
