Icron rolls out WiRanger wireless USB hub
First announced back in January, Icron's WiRanger wireless USB 2.0 hub has now finally made it out the door, joining the growing number of other cable cutting devices already out there. It doesn't look like the specs have seen any changes since we last heard about it, with the four-port hub boasting the same 802.11g radio on the inside, and promising the same 100 foot range between the hub and the dongle for your USB devices. Not announced last time, however, was the price, although we can now sorta understand why they were keeping it under wraps -- a $395 sticker price isn't exactly the best way to attract interest.
Icron's WiRanger joins the race to wireless USB
For almost a year, Belkin has been teasing followers of the Wireless USB hub by constantly pushing back the official release date. At the rate they're going, someone else might beat them to market, Icron hopes it's them. The WiRanger is a 4 port USB 2.0 hub that leverages the company's proprietary ExtremeUSB technology to connect devices to any PC or Mac via 802.11g within a 100-foot range. We're skeptical to say the least. Icron has set a Spring release date and considering Belkin's track record, it will likely be the first product out the door.
