Netgear is now shipping its 200Mbps powerline broadband products in Australia: providing the kind of throughput that WiFi can't offer and which is needed for distributing high definition video signals around a home.

They simply plug into a powerpoint and the computer, printer or other device is connected with an ethernet cable.

The product is the HDX101 Powerline HD 200Mbps Ethernet Adapter which retails for $229, or you can buy a pair for $429. According to Netgear, "The HDXB101 enables simple plug and play installation, with built-in QoS to support video streaming and non-stuttering VoIP. Configurable QoS is also accessible to advanced users and encrypted security protects the network from hackers."

Around the world a number of IPTV operators have opted for 200Mbps BPL to enable their customers to distribute the signals around their homes, but newer high speed wireless technologies are also mounting a strong challenge {moscomment}
