SMC Networks boosts Powerline range
SMC Networks, a global provider of LAN hardware and broadband connectivity devices, has announced an addition to its Powerline product portfolio, the SMCHPAVH-ETH EZ Connect.
The solution is a 200Mbps HomePlug AV Hybrid Ethernet Adapter designed to support HD video and audio streaming, VoIP, online gaming and broadband Internet access over existing AC wiring in the home. In addition, the same signal can be sent over coaxial cable, SMC says.
The EZ Connect Adapter is claimed to be an easy and cost-effective way to create or extend a home network without the need to run expensive cabling or perform extensive network configuration. Each available power outlet is designed to be turned into a network connection point.
The adapter aims to support up to 16 Powerline devices communicating on a single network and is said to have data transfer rates of up to 200Mbps.
"With the increasing uptake of video streaming, VoIP and high definition technologies, customers are increasingly looking for the easiest way to extend their home networks," says SMC SA’s product manager, Peggie Lee.
"The EZ Connect Powerline AV Adapters are simple to set up and cost-effective, as users can simply plug one into an AC power outlet near the device they want to add to the network."
