Wireless USB

A better link on the Icron WiRanger product:

Icron WiRanger will be available 1st week of April. MSRP $395.

I think so. I'd be curious to hear from Audioengr. Audioengr?

"Note: The Wireless USB Extender does not support isochronous USB"

I believe it will not work with typical USB audio converters.

Sorry about the false alarm. That is a bummer.

Not sure if this is available yet, but Icron offers wireless isochronous USB over 802.11 a/b/g/n.

That sounds promising. I placed a pre-order as well. Anticipated release is 1st week of April, but they may release early.

It's interesting that the "cablefree" thing has changed from ultrawideband to 802.11g.

It appears that they are starting with 802.11g, and will eventually move into other standards. Not sure whether all of these will work for what we want to do, or whether they will keep isochronous communication for all of these formats (from the first link above):

Wireless Standards Supported:
UWB, 802.11b/g/a/n, 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz proprietary solutions

I believe Icron has a dongle too. See picture in this link:

From the link:

The WiRanger Cable Free USB 2.0 Hub is a four-port hub and dongle set that will enable immediate high-speed wireless connectivity with maximum reach extending beyond 30m.
