D-Link to ship 200Mbps Powerline network kit
According to the company, network-enabled devices can be added to a home network using the new D-Link PowerLine Network Kit the DHP-301, which contains two PowerLine adapters, Ethernet cabling and an easy-to-follow installation disk.
No new cables or wires are needed since the kit adapters take advantage of ordinary AC power and ever-present wall sockets for transferring data, D-Link adds. "Our PowerLine networking solution makes it easy for consumers to enjoy the benefits of a true digital home designed for high-definition media streaming, online gaming and other next-generation applications," says Tobie van Schalkwyk, country manager for D-Link in SA.
"The technology is fast, extremely easy-to-use, and complements our wired and wireless home networking for moving data into areas of a home where it may be difficult to run a cable or achieve a strong wireless signal."
The technology is said to be suited for bandwidth-demanding applications, such as high-definition media streaming, music sharing and online multi-player gaming.
PowerLine is a ‘no new wires’ technology that aims to be a fast and cost-effective alternative to traditional Ethernet installations, complementing a wireless home network system.
