Bangkok--20 Dec--Hill + Knowlton Strategies
New 500GB MiniStation Air enables users to access all of their data at all times via 802.11n connectivity and USB 3.0
Buffalo Inc., a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of storage and wireless network solutions, today announces that the latest innovation in its portable storage range — the MiniStation Air — has arrived in Thailand. The MiniStation Air enables smartphone, tablet and laptop users to wirelessly access all of their important data and favourite media files on the go, whenever and wherever they like — be it on the BTS, in the car, in an airport or in the park.
The handheld drive combines 802.11n wireless data connectivity and 500GB of storage capacity with guaranteed super-speed, secure data transfers of up to 5Gbit/s through its USB3.0 compatibility and WPA2 support. Users are able to wirelessly read and write files on smartphones and tablets, and the device is compatible with Windows 7 or Vista, Mac OS X 10.5 or later, Android 2.3, 3.0 and 4.0 or later, as well as iOS 4.0 or later.
The MiniStation Air also offers users wireless connectivity via WPS and AOSS, as well as WPA2 wireless encryption for secure data transfers. The device has up to 4 hours of life through its powerful lithium battery, and can be charged by its AC adapter, car chargers and USB. Buffalo Inc. provides a three-year limited warranty on the MiniStation Air.
“In 2011 the global smartphone and tablet market surpassed the PC market for the first time, with 448 million smartphone sales and tablet sales compared to 415 million PC sales*,” said Atsuo Shibata, Country Manager, Southeast Asia & Oceania Group at Buffalo Inc. “Despite this, there remains a very limited storage capacity for these devices compared to that for PCs. There’s also limited USB-host function for portable devices, so the MiniStation Air is the perfect solution for providing storage solutions to users,” Shibata added. “Users who want to watch movies or listen to music that is stored on their PC can now access it wirelessly on the go by syncing their mobile or tablet device up to the MiniStation Air.”
Buffalo Inc. has also developed an app, WebAccess, that is now available for Apple and Android devices at iTunes and Google Play. WebAccess allows users to access their files stored on Buffalo NAS directly from their smartphones.
In-person product demonstrations are available to any interested customers at Buffalo’s flagship store on the fourth floor of CentralWorld shopping center.
Availability
The MiniStation Air is now available through Buffalo’s sole Thailand distributor, The Value Systems Co., Ltd., on Buffalo’s website, and at Buffalo’s flagship store at CentralWorld in Bangkok. The product is priced at THB 5,990.
