The Wireless USB DisplayDock Set for MacBooks will be offered by 4 OEM vendors in the end of March 2010: Lenexpo (Atlona), Source R&D (Warpia) and Cables Unlimited in the USA and Olidata in Europe.
Demonstrations will be held in MacWorld 2010 show in San Francisco in Atlona's and Wisair's booths.
While enjoying the mobility of MacBook platforms, users can now also enjoy a convenient working environment at their home or at the office. The Wireless USB DisplayDock Set allows users to easily connect their MacBook to their desktop environment, consisting of a monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse, with a single adapter that connects to a USB port on the MacBook.
MacBook platforms do not have VGA or DVI connectors, which are the most common connectors in monitors and for a complete desktop environment, Mac users therefore need today to connect at least 4 cables/adapters:
(1) a mini-Displayport or mini-DVI to VGA or DVI adapter cable
(2) USB cable for the keyboard
(3) USB cable for the mouse
(4) yet another cable for the audio.
Wisair's Wireless USB DisplayDock solution allows Mac users to connect to a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers, via a single wireless link with a single adapter that connects to a USB port, available in ALL MacBook platforms. Bearing in mind that there are very limited docking solutions for MacBook platforms available today, this solution offers a whole new user experience with plug and play operation and enhanced convenience.
Amongst Wisair's customers that are currently shipping Wireless USB products are Lenexpo (Atlona), Source R&D (Warpia) and Cables Unlimited in the USA, Fujitsu, XEL (Q-Waves), Hama, Olidata, Digicom, Display Solutions and More Monitors in Europe and Witech in Korea. The availability of Mac OS support in addition to Windows OS support allows these customers to further expand their offering to MacBook users.
