TRENDnets New Mobile Solution Combines Bluetooth and 802.11g WiFi Access into One Device
TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 11 / -- TRENDnet, a best-in-class networking manufacturer of wired and wireless networking solutions announced its latest mobile innovation, the TBW-103UB 802.11g WiFi & Bluetooth Combo USB Adapter. The device integrates WiFi and Bluetooth access into one USB 2.0 Adapter to enable the seamless transfer of information between Bluetooth enabled devices, such as cell phones, and computers.
By integrating the two wireless access tools into one unit, a bridge between the Bluetooth-equipped cell phone and the PC has been created. While Bluetooth has become a common feature in newer cell phones, it is not always included as a standard feature in PC's. By connecting the TBW-103UB to a regular laptop USB port, mobile users can now sync contact files, share photos, listen to music or make VoIP calls via their Bluetooth-equipped cell phone or headset. Simultaneously, users can surf the Internet via their WiFi connection.
While the popularity of WiFi HotSpots has exploded over the past few years, coverage is not yet universal. In turn, the new unit can help extend wireless Internet access to the limits of the user's cell phone network by connecting a user's laptop through the phone's on-board Dial-up modem feature, which is often included in Bluetooth enabled cell-phones.
"This unit is the latest product in a line of solutions recently launched intended to improve the productivity and lifestyle of laptop users," stated Heath Gregory, Marketing Director for TRENDnet. "By combining these two standards into one solution we are helping users make the most of their mobile devices and enhance their ability to distribute their content and stay connected anywhere."
The device also includes an adjustable antenna to help improve signal strength gain and transmission. The product is shipping with a 3-Year Warranty at an Average Selling Price (U.S.) of $69.99.
Other TRENDnet products include: Gigabit, Fiber, VoIP, KVM, Wired Routers, IP Cameras, Bluetooth and Firewire Connectivity, Powerline and Print/Storage Servers.
