Silex releases industry’s first USB-to-Gigabit networking solution

SALT LAKE CITY, USA: Silex Technology America Inc., a leader in product networking solutions, announced the availability of SX-3000GB, the industry’s first Gigabit USB Device server. A single SX-3000GB allows users to share up to 15 USB devices over TCP/IP via a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

For home users, the new SX-3000GB provides networking capabilities to MP3 players, web cameras, speakers, monitors and many other devices with a USB interface. Business applications include devices from card readers to USB dongles, and multifunction printers, scanners and storage devices running on Macintosh or Windows.

SX-3000GB can also be integrated in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure to provide USB device connections in a server based computing environment. The versatile features make the SX-3000GB the solution of choice for USB device networking.

Backed by its own SX-Virtual USB technology and implementation know-how, Silex has been the pioneer in leading USB IP technology adoption in the market since 2003, delivering its own product and OEM projects in United States, Japan, Europe and Asia for the hardware and software intellectual property. The SX-3000GB is the latest addition to enhance Silex’s popular USB device server hardware platform with a new Gigabit support and 2X throughput.

Silex USB device servers allow users to connect virtually any USB device to a wired or wireless network. Silex’s proprietary Virtual USB provides a direct USB port connection on Windows or Macintosh systems and transfers the packets out over the LAN using TCP/IP to the USB device connected to the Silex USB Device Server.

The computers think they are communicating with the device via a direct USB connection, but they are actually communicating over the network with the USB ports of the SX-3000GB. This method ensures the most robust compatibility with the USB device driver and software applications. Connected USB devices can be used as if they were locally connected.

SX-3000GB is available at $99 MSRP.
