This week a chipset developer named Wisair announced at CES its new design for a Wireless USB dongle set. It is able to provide speeds of 70-100 Mbps to upwards of 200 Mbps from a native host.

Serdar Yurdakul, director of marketing says, “We were able to come up with a solution where the device side could be plugged in without going through a hub – which means, at a lower cost, you can have a Wireless USB device capability.” This new product will not only be nicely priced, but also much more convenient for its user.

Although a conventional hub may be thought to be a better option both in price and convenience, Wisair hopes to do away with that idea. Yurdakul points out that this designs greatest strength is how easy it is to use. The dongles will automatically connect, taking away the need for wires. “A hub will be always be useful, of course, but this particular reference design enables a literal USB wire replacement,” comments Yurdakul on the new product.

Wisair is looking to launch a commercial product sometime later this year.
