Silex WUSB Device Server - USB Port Emulation over LAN

Native Wireless USB devices have yet to materialize, but you can now cut the cords on your peripherals with Silex SX-2000WG USB Device Server. The server's software - SX Virtual Link - has a unique ability to emulate a direct USB port on Windows or Mac, and the SX-2000WG can transfer the USB packets out over the network, whether it be 100Base-T Ethernet or 802.11b/g WLAN.

While routers supporting MFPs and USB storage are common, the Silex server is different in its isochronous Full Speed USB (12Mbps) support, allowing streaming (low-res) video and audio like webcams and speakers to be easily shared among users on the same network. You can also sync your iPod over the Silex if you want to. Last but not least is the Server's support for MS Windows 'Connect Now', saving you the hassle of manual configuration. This product may target at very niche market, but $149 isn't too bad if you can find some practical applications.
