SMC Ships Industry's First Turbo Powerline and Turbo Powerline/802.11g Combo Devices

SMC(R) Networks (http://www.smc.com/) today reinforced its commitment to fast, easy-to-install home networking by announcing the shipment of the newest additions to its family of HomePlug(R) 1.0-compatible products, making SMC the first major networking vendor to ship 85Mbps Powerline networking products. SMC is enhancing and adding to its Powerline networking family by introducing Turbo Powerline for higher-speed connections, and by integrating 802.11g wireless with Powerline to add further flexibility in mixed networks. Ideal for building easy, high-performance Powerline networks, or for extending existing networks, SMC EZ Connect(TM) Powerline products provide ample bandwidth and allow for overall simplicity by using existing electrical wiring and outlets as connection points to a network.

The EZ Connect 85Mbps Turbo Powerline-to-Ethernet Adapter connects to an available Ethernet port on an SMC EZ Stream(TM) digital media device or an SMC Barricade(TM) or other Ethernet router, and plugs into a power outlet to make each and every outlet in the house network-enabled. That connection lets users simply plug into power outlets to share devices, connect to other computers in the house, connect to the Internet -- even play network games and communicate with network-enabled entertainment devices.
