By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributing Editor

PC World, a widely-read computer or business technology magazine, has honored IOGEAR with a 2008 PC World 25 Most Innovative Products Award for its Wireless USB (W-USB) Hub & Adapter Kit (GUWH104KIT).

PC World announced the 2008 PC World 25 Most Innovative Products Award winners on December 28, 2007 and will present the trophies on January 7, 2008 at the ShowStoppers media reception at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas during 2008 International CES (News - Alert).




IOGEAR’s W-USB Hub & Adapter kit enables residential and small and home office (SOHO) users to wirelessly transfer files and data at speeds up to 480 Mbps. The product has also been a 2008 CES Innovations award honoree, and is USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) and FCC (News - Alert)-certified.

“These are among the most inventive and trend-setting products available, breaking the traditional boundaries while pushing the limits of technology,” said Harry McCracken, VP/editor-in-chief of PC World in a statement. He pointed out that these winners help define industry standards and raise the bar for creativity in the future.

Through W-USB adapters, IOGEAR’s Hub can associate with up to three different laptops or PCs. Featuring four USB ports, the product can connect to wired USB devices, such as external hard drives printers, MP3 players and scanners. IOGEAR explains that the Adapter plugs into the PC and wirelessly communicates with the Hub, which users can place up to 30 feet away.

Individuals can achieve fast wireless communication between computers and USB peripherals with this complete W-USB solution. This enables transmission of video, audio and picture files, as well as other high-bandwidth data, at a low power consumption rate.

Miranda Su, VP of marketing at IOGEAR said that their company continuously strives to bring their customers products that make their lives and jobs more enjoyable and efficient, creating practical and cable-free work and home environments.

Su added that it is a great honor for IOGEAR and their W-USB solution to be recognized by PC World for such a prestigious award, and emphasized that this award further reinstates their innovation and pioneering positioning in the market.
