Iogear 4-Port USB 2.0 Wireless Hub with Adapter
Introducing one of the first USB-IF Certified Wireless USB solution, the IOGEAR Wireless USB Hub & Adapter kit (GUWH104Kit). The IOGEAR Wireless USB Hub & Adapter kit allows your desktop or laptop to wirelessly communicate with USB printers, scanners, cameras, game controllers, flash drives, external hard drives, and other USB devices. It complies with the Multi-band OFDM Ultra Wide Band (UWB) 1.0 specification, and provides users with transmission speeds of up to 480Mbps. At 480 Mbps the IOGEAR Wireless USB Hub is faster than all wireless technologies including 802.11n. Because it is Plug-and-Play, the IOGEAR Certified Wireless USB Hub takes almost no time to set up and get running. It is the perfect combination of convenient Plug-and-Play USB connectivity, blazing fast data transfers and the benefits of going wireless.

Cable Freedom
The IOGEAR Wireless USB Kit takes advantage of the UWB radio technology to deliver fast wireless USB communication between your computer and USB peripherals. The IOGEAR Kit wirelessly connects to USB devices up to 30-feet away from your computer. Imagine transferring files to a hard drive across the room! The Wireless USB hub can connect to many other USB devices and offers high-bandwidth video, audio and data transfers. Additionally, the wireless frequency range of UWB helps avoid interference with other wireless devices like mobile phones, Wi-Fi networks, and Bluetooth devices. And because the IOGEAR Wireless USB hub is certified by the USB-IF you know that it will work with any other Certified Wireless USB devices that come to market.

No experience with the device, but did take notice of it recently; personally speaking, I really wish it supported USB webcams... perhaps in a later version...

It’s important to note that the IOGEAR Wireless USB hub does not currently support either USB speakers or USB Web cameras, so if you’re thinking of connecting either of these two types of devices, the Wireless USB hub isn’t for you.

Read the 2 reviews on the page, asides that the specs and just a understanding of USB tells me that thing while really nice in theory, would be horrible.
