Home Server Technologies Inc. presents the WirelessMediaStick™ at 2010 CeBIT

Hannover, Germany, March 2, 2010 – Home Server Technologies Inc. (HSTi) presents the Wireless Media Stick™. HSTi, located in Hall 13, Stand D14 – Alberta/Canada Pavilion, is demonstrating the product to illustrate an innovative new way that allows users to easily access and share media by streaming it via a standard USB port interface on an audio/visual device (DVD/Blu-ray player, TV, USB stereo and Digital picture frame).

The Wireless Media Stick™ is a virtual mass storage device which streams video, photos and music stored in any shared computer or mass storage device within your home/office network by utilizing your existing wireless router. It eliminates the need for a media storage device (i.e. computer to be placed next to your DVD/Blu-ray player, TV, digital picture frame or stereo). It is compatible with virtually any manufacturer’s audio/visual device that supports USB 2.0 (viewing/playing of stored media through the USB port) and utilizes a structured directory format. The technology is managed by a simple and intuitive web-based interface accessible from any computer in your home. You do not need to reprogram the Wireless Media Stick™ when you store new media files on your network; it automatically discovers it. In addition, you can use your existing remote control so it is very easy to use.

“We know many consumers are not tech savvy but still want to be able to view their vacation photos, stored videos or favourite music with their friends,” said Ramesh Uppal, President/CEO of Home Server Technologies Inc. “We wanted to provide users with the ability to access and share their media which could be stored anywhere in the world, in the most cost effective and easy-to-use method possible. We believe the Wireless Media Stick™ accomplishes these goals.”

Wireless Media Stick™ features:

1. Wireless streaming of video, photos and music
   1. The Wireless Media Stick™ streams video, photos and music stored in any shared computer or mass storage device within your home network by using your existing wireless router. This eliminates the need for a media storage device (i.e. computer to be placed next to your DVD/Blu-ray player, TV, digital picture frame or stereo).
2. Simple user interface
   1. The Wireless Media Stick™ uses the existing remote control for your playback device (i.e. DVD player remote control). This means you do not need to learn how to operate yet another new remote control.
3. Simultaneously stream different media to multiple rooms (requires more than one device)
   1. This allows the flexibility to have your children listen to their favourite music downstairs, while you watch a video on your TV on the main floor and your spouse looks at photos on a digital photo frame upstairs.

In addition, you are not locked into a specific manufacturer’s proprietary solution.
6. Universal media format
   1. The media format compatibility is controlled by the media playback device (i.e. DVD/Blu-ray player, digital photo frame, or stereo). The Wireless Media Stick™ just streams the media format it receives through to the playback device. Examples of supported formats are DivX, MP2, MP3, MP4, AVI, MPEG, WMF, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG (and others as supported by your playback device).
