G-Technology by Hitachi today introduced its G-CONNECT wireless storage solution, the first in a family of products providing wireless storage and 802.11n WiFi Internet access for Apple iPad, iPhone and many other mobile devices.
The G-CONNECT solution provides on-the-go wireless access to content that?s not already loaded on your iOS devices, including your favorite movies, music, books, photos and documents. No Internet connection is required. G-CONNECT provides access to five+ simultaneous devices, depending on the workload, and supports up to five SD or three HD video streams at once.
When connected via Ethernet to a network, the G-CONNECT drive becomes your own personal cloud or WiFi Internet access point, allowing you to surf and stream content, wirelessly, at the same time. Access and view content on the G-CONNECT solution with a mobile iOS app now available on the App Store, or through your browser. Android devices are also supported with access through a web browser, with native apps available this fall.
