Icron Introduces New USB 2.0 Extension Solutions With up to 10km Range14 December 2005
Icron Technologies Corporation (TSX-V: IT), the
developers of ExtremeUSB® today announced the introduction of three new
additions to its USB 2.0 extension product family, the USB 2.0 Ranger 442,
444 and 440 extenders.
Building on the success of the USB 2.0 Ranger 140, which was the first and
only long range USB 2.0 extension solution launched earlier this year,
Icron adds more ports, and longer distances via fiber optics. The Ranger
440 is a 4-port CAT5 extender with a 50m range. The Ranger 442 is a 4-port,
multimode fiber based solution with a 500m range, and the Ranger 444 is a
4-port singlemode fiber based solution with up to 10 km range.
As in all Icron's ExtremeUSB based solutions, ExtremeUSB 2.0 technology
allows manufacturers of PCs, peripherals, and consumer electronics to
extend the range that USB 2.0 devices can operate over UTP cable, fiber
optics or any wireless media at any distance without making any changes to
the USB ecosystem. This ensures that users will have a "plug and play"
experience right out of the box, requiring no additional drivers, host
controller changes, or user configurations. It supports all USB supported
operating systems including Windows, MAC OS, Linux, Unix and Solaris.
"The demand for Icron's USB 2.0 based solutions continues to grow in both
the consumer and industrial markets as much of the old legacy connection
methods are replaced with USB 2.0 ports," commented Robert Eisses,
Vice-President, Sales and Marketing for Icron. "The release of these
additional wired USB extension solutions along with our wireless USB 2.0
initiatives will further fuel our growth for 2006 and beyond."
