NetGears 200Mbps Powerline Ethernet
Posted: 27th Jun, 2006 By: MarkJ
NetGear has launched the HDX101 Powerline Ethernet adaptor, which utilises a buildings existing mains power socket(s) to deliver Ethernet networking at up to 200Mbps:
NETGEARs Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter and Kit (HDX101 and HDXB101) for high quality video and gaming, is an ideal solution for connecting a PC, DVR, X-Box 360, PS3, or other game console to the home network. Simply plug one HDX101 into an AC outlet near your router and the other HDX101 near the device you wish to network.
Built-in Quality of Service (QoS) ensures high quality, consistent performance for things like real-time HD video and audio streaming for a digital media adapter (DMA) like the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer (EVA700), or for Internet gaming and VoIP calls. With data rates up to 200 Mbps large file transfers to networked storage devices like NETGEARs Storage Central (SC101) can be up to 12 times faster than previous Powerline networking products, all with encrypted security.
Key Features
-Built-in Quality of Service (QoS) for video streaming, gaming and VoIP

-Up to 200 Mbps data rates for faster file transfers
-Predictable and dependable network speeds

We've yet to see any proper reviews of the new kit, although it is already for sale at some online retailers for roughly £65 inc. VAT. Not a bad piece of kit if your Wi-Fi alone doesn't quite cut it.
