He is a professional drummer who does live performances onstage and outdoor locations . He had a connectivity problem that he was trying to solve which led him to finding Silex. Silex known for providing reliable and high quality connectivity solutions, had the perfect product for him, the SX-DS-3000WN!!! **THE PROBLEM:** ![wire problem](https://www.silextechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wire-problem.jpg?width=211&height=74&name=wire-problem.jpg)Frédéric, in his performances needs to move around, and running wires throughout his setup was not ideal. He needed a solution that could free him from wires. His requirements were: - A device that could transmit signals wirelessly from his MIDI-controller to his computer to control beats and music. - Range and Reliability. In his performances he moves around in the auditorium. So he needed the transmitter device to have reliable connectivity throughout a 100 meter radius. - Extreme Temperatures: Living in Canada, where the winters are cold, the device has to perform at a high quality at subzero temperatures. **THE SOLUTION:** ![Solution](https://www.silextechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/images.jpg?width=76&height=92&name=images.jpg)The SX-DS-3000WN. It is a USB device server supporting 802.11n wireless or Gigabit Ethernet. Any USB device can be used over a wired/wireless network with the SX-DS-3000WAN just as though it was connected to a computer. ***Top Features:*** - 802.11n wireless connection allows you to place USB device anywhere within range of your wireless network - The 802.11n wireless connection supports up to 300Mbps.
