What can the Freecom Storage Gateway do for YoU, at home ?
Small  home  networks  are  a  common  thing  these  days. The  number  of  computers  per  household  is  growing. Thereby,  the  amount  of  data 
accumulated is growing simultaneously. Wouldn’t it be easy if all this data is stored on one central location, so that users within the home 
network can always access it, no matter which PC or notebook they use at that moment ? And wouldn’t it be even better if you could securely 
access this same data through the Internet ?  Imagine visiting relatives at the other end of the world, logging on to your Storage Gateway located 
at your home, and showing them the latest pictures of your family….
Freecom makes it all happen!  The Storage Gateway offers you the possibility to store your data centrally, access it from inside and outside (securely!) 
your network. That’s not all however. The Storage Gateway is so much more than “just another network hard drive”. With the Storage Gateway, you 
can turn your USB Printer into a network printer, so all users within your network can use this printer. The Storage Gateway is also a WLAN access 
point, router, fileserver, webserver, ftp server… the possibilities are endless!  Free your mind!
What can the Freecom Storage Gateway do for YoU, at the office ?
The Freecom Storage Gateway can become the center of your small office network. Users are connected to the FSG eiher wirelessly or via 
network cable. Internet access also goes through the Storage Gateway; just connect the DSL or cable modem to it, and anyone from within your 
network can access the internet.
These days, flexible working spaces (either at the office or working from home) are becoming a common thing in the fast business world. With 
the Storage Gateway as your data-center, it does not matter where your users are. From inside or outside (via the internet, securely of course) 
they can connect to the Storage Gateway and access the files they need. 
The Storage Gateway can also be used to host your own website, as an e-mail server, a FTP or HTTP server…… for every business and every user-
scenario, the Storage Gateway offers a tailor-made solution. All this at a price that is much lower than your average fileserver.
Cost effective, secure, multi-talented… that’s the Freecom Storage Gateway. Endless possibilites! Free your mind!
