I have a USB device with USB wired connection. I like to convert this wired connection to wireless. Is there a way to do this?
the device has a UsB connnector than connects to PC USB. Most of the 'wirelss USB device appears to be wireless lan device.

There is a standard for that (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_USB), but I've never actually seen a device that implements it.

It is interesting after all these yrs with USB's existence, no company has not come out with a wireless device like this that every USB device can be turned into wireless. hmm........

Interested in making one design, I will be glad to be the GP to make it and you can patten it. ;)

hmm, just read this reply. the forum did not sent me a message that there is a reply. :?:

thx Thomas. I will look into that the one from Newegg seems promising. May have to figure out a way to add a 5V battery power source that does not need the AC power supply. The device I am looking at needs the USB to power the device then transmit data to PC. It is a still image CCD sensor. or attach the device USB base to a AC power source if it is conveniently available where the device is going to be.

I wonder what 'key word' you used to do the search. The Newegg item never showed up on my google search. After I read your post, I did some search again. only one ever showed up: http://www.focusedtechnology.com/sp-dou ... 7AodklgAaQ
and this may have a dedicated display function instead of for general USB.

PS: still waiting for the 270 uH inductor to arrive to continue my one plug FPV set up. It may have sunken to the bottom of Pacific. :P

The link posted by Kilrah said the wireless standard is called Certified Wireless USB. So I Googled that name.
