The document introduces the USB2Air, the world's first wireless USB extender that connects any USB 2.0 device like webcams or speakers up to 25 feet from a Windows computer without cables. It was developed by HuddleCamHD to eliminate the need for expensive USB extension cabling in rooms, and supports transmitting 1080p video and audio with less than 1ms latency. Backers are encouraged to support the USB2Air's Kickstarter campaign to help fund the first product using HuddleCamHD's wireless USB technology for a wide variety of applications beyond video conferencing.

2. Introducing the USB2AIR
The USB2Air will connect ANY USB 2.0

of a wireless transmitter, receiver and
USB 2.0 power hub.
The unit supports up to 30 MBps of
bandwidth so technically you can use
this wireless extension with multiple
devices.
5. Our Story
Our story starts in 2015, when HuddleCamHD chief engineer
Matthew Davis created the world’s first wireless USB pan,
tilt, zoom conference camera, the HuddleCam Air. In 2016,
Davis used the same wireless USB technology to build the
incredibly popular HuddlePod Air, one of the industries top
selling wireless USB speakerphones.
Now in 2017, HuddleCamHD is making our powerful wireless
technology available in the first ever wireless USB 2.0
extension system truly built to work with any USB 2.0 device.
The USB2Air is the industry's first answer to wireless USB
video transmission as a suitable substitute for extension
cabling. The USB2Air is a Windows only product with
support for 1080p HD video transmission up to 25 feet
between each transmitter and receiver set.

29. Why Kickstarter?
The USB2Air is the first product HuddleCamHD has
launched with applications far beyond our traditional
market which is USB based video conferencing hardware.
Because our team has successfully tested the USB2Air
with hardware such as virtual reality headsets, wearable
graphics modules, Teensy development boards, and
control surfaces we felt it was best to open up our initial
production to the public with Kickstarter.
Our hope is to gather end user feedback and develop an
in-depth knowledge base supporting this product with such
a wide variety of applications. We also hope that our
project backers on Kickstarter will help us fund this project.
