REALTEK ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION WITH ASUS ON INDUSTRY-FIRST WIRELESS MONITORS BASED ON WIRELESS USB TECHNOLOGY

“Wireless operation opens up an entirely new experience to our customers, with unsurpassed convenience and ease-of-use,” said Vincent Chiou, Director of ASUS Display BU. “Our search for high performance and quality led us to choose Realtek’s state-of-the art Wireless USB solutions as a key component in raising the easy usability of ASUS monitors to a new level”.

By eliminating video cables, wireless monitors reduce clutter and permit more flexible and streamlined office layouts. The connection and disconnection process is reduced to the ultimate in convenience via automatic system configuration, creating a true ‘easy come, easy go’ experience. With a high bandwidth wireless connection, the wireless monitor offers the performance of a wired connection with the flexibility of wireless.

“ASUS brings highly innovative technology with real consumer benefits to market,” said Ran Yan, senior vice-president at Realtek. “We are extremely pleased to collaborate with ASUS at the forefront of the ongoing drive to bring ever more convenience to every aspect of computer use”.

The ASUS wireless monitor employs an integrated Wireless USB module from Realtek, embedded into the monitor. The monitor pairs with either Wireless USB HWA (Host Wire Adapter) or WHCI (Wireless Host Controller Interface) solutions attached to the PC.
