"Home storage solutions are becoming more popular, and as users become more sophisticated their demand for higher end solutions increases. That's where the wireless LinkStation comes in," stated Morikazu Sano, vice president of product marketing and public relations. "Our customers asked for the total wireless package and with the wireless LinkStation, they have it. Because it features our AOSS technology, users can seamlessly integrate the LinkStation into their existing network and have the benefit of using one of the most robust yet cost effective network storage solutions on the market today."
The Wireless LinkStation Network Storage Center features 802.11g wireless technology. By connecting the LinkStation to a wired network via its 10/100 Ethernet switch, a wireless network can be created or extended supporting both 128-bit and 64-bit WEP. The product also includes Buffalo's AirStation One-Touch Secure System (AOSSTM). AOSS allows users to instantly install any AOSS-enabled device and set-up wireless security with the push of a button.
The LinkStation is a pre-formatted network storage device that is compatible with Windows, Linux and Macintosh. The product includes FTP server function, which allows users to access and transfer data from any machine with Internet connectivity. Administrators can create user and group access to files and folders. The product includes a built-in print server for printer sharing.

The LinkStation features two USB 2.0 ports for additional storage and provides users with the ability to run multiple streams for simultaneous media download and usage. The solution also features Buffalo's own backup software so users can schedule and customize data protection.
