Gigabyte GN-WLBZ201: a USB drive coupled with a WLAN module
Gigabyte Technology announced its GN-WLBZ101/201, a combination of a USB drive and a IEEE 802.11b WLAN module (the GN-WLBZ101 model features WLAN only). New products are designed for both notebooks, and desktops. Unlike similar devices that exist in the market GN-WLBZ201 has 128MB capacity.
The package includes software for using GN-WLBZ101/201 as an access point (Windows 2000/XP only) with 64/128-bit WEP protocol support or as a SOHO Web gate. Perhaps, the next solution will also support 802.11g standard: according to In-Stat/MDR, this year specialized wireless technologies became common, and chip makers elaborated strategies, created alliances and established partnerships.
According to this firm, this year world sales of WLAN chipsets should make 33 million, exceeding 94 millions by 2007.
