Many times, it's hard for homeowners and renters to establish a reliable Wi-Fi connection in the home, so some of those people turn to other non-traditional networking technologies like powerline networking. While powerline networking is capable of delivering a solid Internet connection to connected computers, devices based on this technology are sometimes hard-pressed to consistently deliver high quality VoIP and high-definition content. Today, D-Link announced its Ethernet-to-Coax, an alternative networking solution that relies on the coaxial (Cable) cable already laid in most homes to provide a high-bandwidth, high-speed transfer mechanism. Users can realistically expect enough bandwidth for streaming high-def content and gaming online without interfering with CATV reception. E-t-C's physical setup is very similar to HomePlug devices, and is priced competitively in relation to a complete HomePlug kit. Look for this new network tech to become available in Q3 of this year.
