The networking hardware manufacturer touts itself as being “the first brand to actually launch these exciting new 500 Mbps Powerline solutions to the market.”
Networking hardware maker TRENDnet has rolled out two new Powerline AV Adapter products for general availability in the channel: a 500 Mbps Powerline AV Adapter (Model TPL-401E) and 500 Mbps Powerline AV Adapter Kit (Model TPL-401E2K).
The 500 Mbps Powerline AV Adapter can be plugged into any electrical outlet to create a secure 500 Mbps building-wide network. One adapter can be connected to a router and another adapter can then be plugged into an outlet for high-speed network access. The adapters can be connected using a one-touch connect button. Up to 16 Powerline adapters can be used to network devices in different rooms without running cable.

The 500 Mbps Powerline AV Adapter Kit includes two 500 Mbps Powerline AV Adapters, which are required to start a Powerline network.
