Buffalo Adds Capacity, Cuts Wires: Page 2 of 2

Buffalo also used the CES venue to unveil the wireless LinkStation network storage center, available in capacities of 160, 250 and 300 Gbytes, which will permit business and home users
to integrate a high-performance storage device into their wireless network.

The LinkStation uses 802.11g wireless technology and supports both the 128- and 64-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard. The product also includes Buffalo's AirStation One-Touch Secure System (AOSS), which allows users to instantly install any AOSS-enabled device and set up wireless security with the push of a button.

A pre-formatted network storage device, the LinkStation is compatible with Windows, Linux and Macintosh, and can act as an FTP server. The LinkStation has two USB 2.0 ports for additional storage and lets users run multiple streams for simultaneous media download and usage. The solution also features Buffalo's backup software so users can schedule and customize data protection.

The Wireless LinkStation network storage center will be available at the end of the month; estimated pricing ranges from $349 to $549.
