An Ethernet port is all that’s needed to connect Blu-ray^™ players, gaming consoles, LCD / LED TVs and other devices to a home’s wireless router.

Foothill Ranch, Calif. – May 10, 2011 – IOGEAR, a leader in convergence and connectivity products, announces a new Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter (GWU627) for connecting A/V devices to a home network via a wireless router. With online gaming and media consumption rapidly increasing, the need for robust and reliable network access is growing. While many manufacturers are integrating network connections within products, progress is not keeping up with demand.

The IOGEAR Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter provides an affordable and stable solution for equipping Ethernet-enabled devices with wireless network access. The word “universal” is often thrown around, but the Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter works with ANY device featuring an Ethernet port, no brand or device-specific Wi-Fi USB adapter needed. Simply connect via Ethernet and access is gained through the home’s network router.

IOGEAR’s Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter supports the IEEE^™ 802.11n standard, meaning there is no need for cables or re-wiring of the home. Home entertainment systems can be placed where the user wants, without wires, and still maintain a strong Wi-Fi connection. With multiple adapters, users can bring a wireless connection to a multitude of devices and never worry about latency issues or bothersome buffering.

Helping the adapter handle user demands, IOGEAR outfitted the GWU627 with dual antennas (1T1R) that provide data transfer rates of up to 150Mbps while reducing Wi-Fi dead zones in the wireless environment. This new standard provides more than adequate bandwidth for faster file transfer, music downloads, video streaming, on-line gaming and HD multi-media applications.

“An abundance of quality digital content is creating demand for devices that can conveniently access and stream all our music, videos, games and more,” said Bill Nguyen, senior marketing manager at IOGEAR. “IOGEAR’s goal is to make connectivity dynamic and the Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter does this by providing wireless Internet access to fully utilize a game console, Blu-ray, DVR, or HD TV’s built-in widgets, while offering convenience of placement and eliminating cable clutter.”

In addition to the increased speed and bandwidth, users will benefit from the Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter’s compatibility with existing 802.11b/g routers and access points. There’s no need to replace legacy network hardware. The unit also features a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup^™) button offering a quick and secure network setup. On a new wireless network, WPS will automatically configure it with a network name (SSID) and strong WPA data encryption and authentication.

The Universal Wi-Fi N Adapter, model GWU627 is now shipping with an MSRP of $49.95. The GWU627 is also the first IOGEAR product to be available at Gamestop stores nationwide.

The Aperion Zona™ Wireless Surround Speaker System Lets Enthusiasts and Installers Put Surround Sound Wherever They Want It

Portland, OR, September 23, 2010 – Aperion Audio, a direct-to-consumer maker of award-winning home theater speaker systems, ushers in the Aperion Zona Wireless Surround Speaker System at CEDIA Expo 2010. Aperion’s Zona brings reliable audiophile-grade surround sound to speaker locations where running wires is unsightly, difficult or impossible. The Aperion Zona Wireless Surround Speaker System overcomes these challenges using proven digital wireless technology that connects automatically when turned on. Home theater enthusiasts and custom installers can simply place the speakers where they want, plug them into a power outlet and instantly play high-fidelity sound.

Although surround sound for home theaters debuted years ago, homeowners often leave the surround or rear speakers unconnected to eliminate wires snaking around the room. But home theater buffs know they’re missing out on the full surround sound experience. “About one out of every four people we consult with asks if we make wireless surround speakers,” says Jason Hicks, Home Theater Guru at Aperion Audio. “Until now, we didn’t have a solution. We would’ve happily recommended other existing products, but they typically suffer from poor fidelity, unreliable connections or complexity, and that wouldn’t be acceptable for our customers. I’m excited that our product team has come up with a self-contained, high-end wireless system that lets home theater enthusiasts add surround sound wherever they want—no matter who manufactured their speaker system.”

Aperion designed the Zona speakers to work aesthetically and sonically with all home theater speaker systems. In addition, the Aperion Zona speakers can double as a wireless solution for music stored on personal computers or laptops. Plugging the Aperion Zona transmitter into the PC’s USB port automatically sends sound to Zona speakers located up to 150 feet away.

The Aperion Zona Speaker System consists of a compact wireless transmitter and two two-way powered speakers with tuned port and built-in wireless receivers. The transmitter connects to the Surround Pre-Out jacks of an AVR and the speakers link automatically when plugged in. Once connected, the system produces uncompressed 16 bit/48 kHz CD-quality audio.

Pricing, Availability and Warranty:
The Aperion Zona Wireless Surround Speaker System (two speakers, one transmitter) is priced at $499. Pre-orders are now being accepted, and the system is expected to ship on October 25, 2010. The One (1)-year limited warranty covers all defects in material and workmanship.

ABINGTON, PA – June 18, 2010:   Consumers are showing very strong interest in 3D-ready LCD and plasma TVs, according to sales reports released today by BestBuyPCS.com, a leading home theater retailer.

BestBuyPCS.com top five best-selling 3D flat panel TVs for May 2010 were:

1. Panasonic TC-P58VT25 3D Ready Plasma TV
2. Panasonic – TC-P65V10 65-inch 1080p Plasma TV
3. SAMSUNG – UN55C8000 3D Ready LCD TV
4. Panasonic TC-P54VT25 3D Ready Plasma TV
5. Samsung UN40C7000 3D Ready LCD TV

“Consumers are clearly intrigued by 3D TV,” said Scott Aemisegger, President, BestBuyPCS.com.   “Queries for 3D-capable TVs and Blu-Ray players (like the Panasonic TC-P65VT25 or the Samsung BD-C6900) made up 34% of our site searches and roughly 20% of our total sales for the month.  If anything, we see this trend accelerating in June.

“Our best selling 3D TV for May 2010 was the Panasonic TCP58VT25, a model that was only released toward the end of the month,” according to Aemisegger.  “Both the 58-inch and the 65-inch continue to be in short supply, indicating these models are on track to be extremely popular throughout the summer.”

Aemisegger added that many consumers are opting for 3D product bundles including extra pairs of 3D glasses, higher bandwidth HDMI cables and next generation blu-ray disc players with 3D upgradable firmware.   “In some cases consumers are buying four, five even eight pairs of 3D glasses to share the 3D experience with friends, family and neighbors ,” he added.

Projectors Make Comeback

Sales of home theater projectors showed strong gains in May.  “New DILA projectors from JVC (DLA-RS15U,  RS25U and RS35U) made an impressive debut, but the real success story in home theater projectors is the Epson 8500UB,” said Aemisegger. “For about the same price as a 55-inch LCD TV, consumers get a 120″ diagonal picture for a truly immersive theater experience right at home.”
