    The all in one network storage solution
    The new Storage Gateway from Freecom Technologies offers an easy and fast way to add up to 500 Gigabytes of network storage in the office
    or home environment. Quick and simple installation allows you to instantly store and share music, videos, images and other files via your web browser. Using the integrated router you can share the Gateway in seconds. With the 4 extra USB 2.0 Host ports you can use your standard USB printer as a Network printer and also add extra hard drives
    or other storage devices to increase the network storage capacity quickly. Even the latest interface standard S-ATA is available on the Storage Gateway. This interface enables you to extend the capacity
    by stacking drives. Thanks to the router function sharing internet is as
    easy as can be: just plug your DSL modem in the WAN port and have instant access to internet from every computer in your network.
    Simple setup and endless possibilities make the Gateway the perfect solution for your home and small office. The Storage Gateway replaces many other devices and is designed to setup easily without network administrator knowledge.
