| Sling Media Offers Two New SlingLink Powerline Ethernet Adapters Sling Media has announced SlingLink TURBO 1 Port and SlingLink TURBO 4 Port, two new HomePlug powerline solutions designed to make connecting your Slingbox and other home entertainment devices to your network a snap. SlingLink TURBO offers a higher speed connection between the Slingbox and the router creating a better Slingbox experience for customers. Compatible with any home router, SlingLink TURBO takes advantage of existing electrical wiring in the home. Packaged as a pair, one SlingLink TURBO plugs directly into an AC outlet near your router while the other SlingLink TURBO is connected near the device you want to network. The result is an instant high-speed Ethernet network without running any new cabling or trying to configure a wireless connection between the two devices. The SlingLink TURBO 1 Port connects one device, like a Slingbox, while the SlingLink TURBO 4 Port connects up to four devices such as a DVR, gaming console or any Ethernet-based consumer electronic product. Both new SlingLink TURBO products feature Intellon Corporation's INT5500 HomePlug 1.0 with TURBO chipset, an 85Mbps PHY-rate device which assures that the broadband link is stable and robust, providing the bandwidth needed for a single device as well as multiple AV devices should a customer need the SlingLink TURBO 4 Port solution. Since it is not outlet-mounted, the new SlingLink TURBO provides greater flexibility for consumers who now have multiple entertainment devices which need to be networked to a broadband backbone. The majority of these new devices require increased bandwidth and intelligence in their support of new applications. The SlingLink TURBO 4 Port is the perfect complement to the increased level of sophistication being sought by today's techno-savvy consumer. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
