SEAGATE WIRELESS PLUS MOBILE DEVICE STORAGE,
NOW YOU REALLY CAN TAKE IT ALL WITH YOU
Off-the-Grid Streaming Media Solution
for Mobile Devices
NEW DELHI – March
5, 2013: Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX)
today announced the next evolution of the company’s wireless storage category, Seagate®
Wireless Plus mobile device storage. Designed to wirelessly stream content
for up to eight smartphones or tablets with enough space for up to 500
high-definition movies, this new wireless hard drive, will extend the limits of
today’s mobile lifestyle. The new Seagate Wireless Plus now also includes a
10-hour battery life to match that of most tablets and smart phones. With the
integrated 1TB drive you’ll have all you need to be entertained anywhere
including long road trips or flights – without an Internet connection.
Seagate Wireless Plus mobile device storage is
accessed through the mobile Seagate Media app for Apple iOS, Android and Kindle
Fire HD devices. The Seagate Media app has been developed for all major mobile
devices, including Android, Kindle Fire HD, Apple iOS and will also work with
just about any device that can connect to a Wi-Fi network. Additionally, you
can use Wireless Plus to enjoy video, photos, music and even documents on the
big screen via Apple Airplay, DLNA or an app designed specifically for Samsung
Smart TVs and Blu-ray players.
Seagate created this new category of wireless
storage devices in 2011 to address consumers’ desire to enjoy more content than
tablets and smartphones can hold with their limited storage. A CES 2013
Best of Innovations Award Winner, the new Seagate Wireless Plus includes a
new option to save content and files to the drive wirelessly through the new
Seagate Media app. For the first time, consumers will be able to enjoy
capturing a great HD video on their iPhone and then wirelessly uploading it, in
full resolution, to Wireless Plus with its 1TB of storage.
“Smartphones and tablets offer amazing new
opportunities for Seagate to provide new consumer storage solutions in an
increasingly mobile world,” said Futoshi Niizuma, executive director of sales
for Japan, South Asia, ASEAN and ANZ. “Seagate developed the concept of
wireless storage to consumers with the freedom to enjoy their documents,
movies, photos and music anywhere in the world, especially when they can’t
connect to the Internet. Seagate Wireless Plus builds on the success of our
first-generation product and takes it even further.”
The new 1TB wireless drive comes with a removable
SuperSpeed USB3.0 adapter for quick loading of photos, video, music and even
documents. Fill it up and go, for true anywhere access of all your favorite
entertainment or much needed work-related files anywhere. Because the Wireless
Plus creates its own Wi-Fi network, there is no need to stream or download your
content from the Internet or to spend money on a data plan. Everything is with
you, where you want it, when you need it with a secure and wireless connection.
“Less than half of U.S. mobile phone users are
highly satisfied with the storage of their mobile phone, and almost 20% are
dissatisfied with their mobile storage capacity,” said Brett Sappington,
Director of Research at Parks Associates. “As consumption of video on
smartphones and tablets continues to grow, consumers will seek the best ways to
get content to their mobile device without eating up all of the data in their
monthly service plan.”
