Kingston has recently released a new product designed to help users wirelessly transfer files across devices using SD cards and USB storage devices. As a reader and media streamer for SD cards and USB devices, the MobileLite Wireless we have in our labs is a small device consisted of an SD card reader attached to a wireless transceiver (Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11g/n.) It allows you to connect wirelessly to a memory card inserted in the MobileLite Wireless. The device works with Apple devices and Android based devices (2.3 and up) as well as with PCs and Apple computers through browser. According to Kingston, the wireless signal strength is rated up to 30 feet / 10 meters.

The MobileLite Wireless Wi-Fi is pre-configured for channel 11. Available radio channel options are channels 1 (2412 MHz) – 13 (2472 MHz) within the 2.4GHz radio spectrum. The MobileLite Wireless can be configured for alternative channels following the 1-6-11 rule for non-overlapping channel selection to reduce any interference with neighboring Wi-Fi networks. You may manually configure a channel via the MobileLite Wireless application. MobileLite Wireless Wi-Fi security settings can be configured for WPA2 only.

The MobileLite Wireless can also be configured in a bridge mode to allow your device to access the internet or local area network through the MobileLite Wireless while simultaneously accessing the MobileLite Wireless contents. The capability to connect to a wireless access point will allow users to enjoy MobileLite Wireless content and browse the internet simultaneously.
