devolo's Highspeed Home Networking Gets Even Faster (6/10/2006)

New firmware boosts data transfer speed and supports universal plug and play for Xbox 360

Home networking and plug and play Xbox 360 access have become faster, easier and more convenient for users wishing to share Internet and PC resources across the home, with the introduction of new firmware for devolo's market-leading HomePlug solution.

The new firmware for devolo's dLAN Highspeed adaptor delivers improved data transfer for video streaming and Internet Protocol (IP) TV transmission at speeds of up to 85Mbps over the household electrical wiring, and gives users the ability to access and share Internet resources from any room in the house.

A key advantage of the upgrade is the universal plug and play support now provided for the Microsoft Xbox 360 games console, with high-speed data transfer and improved throughput enabling users to access their Xbox Live account and get involved in Internet gaming.

Peter Huddleston, UK Country Manager at devolo said: "With new firmware and enhanced functionality and data transfer speeds, the Highspeed adaptor has the bandwidth to support full multimedia home networking.

"Users can now stream video and IP TV to any room in the house, they have universal plug and play support for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, and they have the flexibility to share and access these resources from any room in the house."

devolo's Highspeed adaptors deliver simple and effective plug-and-play networking throughout the whole house. The adaptors are simply plugged into a wall socket and function just like a physical network cable, ready for immediate use.

With proven advantages over both Ethernet cabling and WLAN, the adaptors remove the need to install extra wiring throughout the house and are not affected by any reduction in transmission quality, which can often be caused by walls and ceilings when using wireless networks.

With prices for the dLAN Highspeed starting at just £44.99, powerline home networking is now more accessible and affordable than ever.
