LaCie Launches Wireless Space, Combines a NAS Unit with a Wireless Router
LaCie has just announced its newest product, the Wireless Space. The Wireless Space is a rather unique product in that it combines a NAS unit with a wireless router, so not only can you backup data to it but you can also use it to get online. The NAS portion comes in the form of either a 1TB or 2TB model while the wireless is handled by an 802.11b / g / n Wi-Fi access point/router. On the rear you will find three Ethernet ports to connect to computers and one Internet port to connect to a modem, plus two USB ports which should allow you to hook up even more storage space. The Wireless Space will work on both PCs and Macs, and will allow you to backup data wirelessly or wired as well as function as a uPNP/DLNA streamer. For Macs, the Wireless Space is fully compatible with Time Machine while PC users will get the Genie Timeline Software to schedule backups on their machines. The whole thing comes in a very sleek black casing so it should look pretty stylish in your home.
The LaCie Wireless Space should be available now in Europe while it will be available in the US in October. Pricing will be $229.99 for the 1TB model and $349.99 for the 2TB.

Verizon Getting Set to Launch LTE in 30 NFL Cities this Year
Well, it seems Verizon is serious about getting its LTE network established in quick order as it has just announced plans to get the LTE network up and running in 30 NFL cities by the end of the year. This means that 30 cities will be the beneficiary of Verizon's 4G network and will be able to surf the web on their phone or laptop using a 4G modem at fast speeds. Verizon is planning to upgrade each city's cell connection backhaul to Gigabit Ethernet which will provide the necessary bandwidth for 4G's 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up speed with 30-150ms of latency. Hopefully Verizon can pull it off in time for the NFL playoffs so the people in the NFL cities can still keep up with their team. Now, the NFL has 32 teams and Verizon is planning to roll this out in 30 NFL cities so one may think that two cities are being left off the list. However, I don't agree with that because two of the cities have two teams so in reality, there are only 30 NFL cities for the 32 NFL teams. Hopefully that is the case and a smaller city like Green Bay isn't left off the list, but some more clarification from Verizon will be needed. In any case, it seems 4G is starting to pick up steam.
