The race is over as Y-E Data Inc., a Japanese company, will make a wireless USB hub available to the public in October. Belkin was in the race as well as other companies to be the first out with this exciting technology. USB can connect a multitude of devices to your computer, but that means a multitude of wires and USB hubs connecting them. This technology promises to untie us. If you’ve ever tried to move your computer just to access the rear panel, you know how difficult that can be. So this technology is sure to be a winner and a great profit-maker for the company that can deliver it.

This hub uses UWB (ultra wideband) wireless technology. The data transfer rate can be up to 100 mbps over a 10 meter distance. This hub will be available first in Japan for $200. Hopefully it will come down in price quickly by the time it comes to the US.
