Compact Wireless Duo
storage, high-performance RT-AC68U 802.11ac router and battery-powered P2B
projector unveiled at Computex 2013
Computex Taipei, Taiwan (4 June, 2013) — ASUS today announced the Wireless Duo storage
device for simple file sharing via Wi-Fi, the RT-AC68U dual-band 802.11ac router
with personal cloud storage support, and the battery-powered P2B portable
short-throw projector.
ASUS Wireless Duo — portable wireless
storage for smart devices
ASUS
Wireless Duo is a compact and portable storage device that takes the hassle out
of sharing files between mobile devices. With a built-in 500GB or 1TB hard
drive, Wireless Duo can be used as wireless external storage for smartphones
and tablets, freeing up valuable internal storage. Music and video can also be
streamed from Wireless Duo in a variety of popular formats, extending the
entertainment opportunities of handheld devices when away from a PC for long
periods.
With
support for Android, iOS, and Windows, Wireless Duo also makes it easy to share
files with up to five different devices at the same time. The built-in SD card
slot provides a one-click card-to-hard drive backup option and gives instant
access to photos taken with a digital camera, removing the need to carry
multiple — and easy lost — memory cards. Wireless Duo also features
USB 3.0 for super-fast file access over a wired connection with compatible
devices and a built-in battery for up to six
hours of media streaming.
The ASUS RT-AC68U is the world’s first dual-band 802.11ac
router with blisteringly fast combined AC1900 data rates of 1900Mbit/s. 802.11ac is three-times faster than 802.11n, but the RT-AC68U is
faster still with a 2.4GHz data rate of 600Mbit/s. This is an incredible 33% faster
than ordinary Wi-Fi routers, making the RT-AC68U perfect for taking the strain
off congested home networks.
The RT-AC68U also features ASUS AiRadar
technology that uses beamforming to focus the Wi-Fi for a stronger connection that’s
less prone to interference. As a result, the RT-AC68U gives 150% greater
coverage than other routers.
The
RT-AC68U also includes exclusive ASUS AiCloud technology, with a
Router-to-Router Sync feature that makes light work of sharing files without
the fuss of managing user access rights and FTP access. A simple invitation
allows photos, videos and other files on USB-attached storage to be
synchronized automatically to USB-attached storage on other compatible ASUS
routers, without the need for a switched-on PC at either end.
ASUS P2B Projector — the battery-powered for
unbeatable portability
The
ASUS P2B is an ultra-compact portable projector that’s battery-powered for
complete mobile flexibility. Despite a desktop footprint no larger than an
audio CD jewel case, the P2B has a bright 350-lumen output from a long-life LED
light source that powers-up in an instant and cools down quickly for packing
away. The best-in-class 1.1:1 short throw ratio means the P2B can project a 42-inch diagonal image just
one meter away from the projection surface and, with a 1280
x 800 WXGA resolution, even 8-point text is crisp and clear.
The
P2B has a D-Sub input and a HDMI/MHL (Mobile
High-Definition Link) port that allows compatible smartphones and
tablets to be used as a projection source, while being simultaneously recharged.
Images, videos and
common office document formats can also be read directly from USB storage
devices and microSD cards, while the built-in speaker removes
the need for bulky external speakers. The P2B’s lithium ion battery lasts for
up to 90 minutes at the maximum 300-lumen brightness setting, but brightness
can also be reduced to extend battery life.
