D-LINK Now Shipping 200Mbps Powerline Network Kit

By

D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumer and business, today announced availability of its fast 200Mbps PowerLine Network Kit that enables consumers to tap into existing electrical wiring to extend their home network. This is pretty cool stuff, but $220 for the PowerLine Network Kit (DHP-301) seems a bit high if you ask me.

Network-enabled devices can easily be added to a home network using the new D-Link PowerLine Network Kit (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. “Our PowerLine networking solution makes it even easier for consumers to enjoy the benefits of a true digital home designed for high-definition media streaming, online gaming and other next-generation applications,” said AJ Wang, chief technical officer for D-Link “The technology is fast, extremely easy-to-use, and is a natural complement to our popular 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.”
