Ethernet-to-coax network adapter for home theaters, and the device complies with Multimedia over Coax Alliance standards.

MoCA and HomePNA leverage existing wiring for connectivity among set-top boxes, media centers, DVRs, gaming consoles and other devices. Actiontec said its network adapters add Internet connectivity to home theaters without rewiring or relying on wireless routers, which can have spotty coverage.

Our HomePNA adapters deliver all the bandwidth customers need, without having to install new wires. It is perfect for connecting an optical network terminal (ONT) to set-top boxes and home routers/gateways."

Demand for HomePNA technology is booming because it reduces installation costs and time dramatically for IPTV (News - Alert) solutions,"

People are looking for solutions to enhance what already exists in the home.

Coax provides a conduit to bring an Internet connection to the growing number of Ethernet-enabled entertainment devices available today.

Since most homes are already wired for cable or satellite television, an Ethernet-to-coax network adapter is the logical choice to deliver a fast and reliable connection throughout the home, regardless if the broadband connection is cable, DSL or fiber.

Installation professionals can leverage the existing wiring for Internet connectivity to power their solutions -- from set top boxes and media centers to DVRs, gaming consoles and more.

We are finding that CEDIA and CI professionals need ways to cost-effectively power broadband technology in and around the home theater system.

It simply took video-on-demand and the programming-guide information from the Web and passed it via coax out to my new television "network."

"Not only was Actiontec MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter awesome..."

For ease of use, the GT724WGR has an AutoConnect feature engineered to automatically connect you to your DSL service regardless of your computer or operating system. Also, Actiontec Electronics designed the graphical user interface to make it simple for users to check the status of the network and to check the broadband connection?s IP address. So, you don?t need a vast amount of home-networking knowledge and experience to be able to operate the GT724WGR. Everyone could use more time-savers and space-savers, and with the GT724-WGR, you get both, along with a secure home network.

Actiontec Electronics is making it easier for smaller telcos to customize their DSL modems and to make deployment simpler for consumers.

Hoping to provide a software means to help better and faster configure DSL modems, Actiontec Electronics has developed a java application aimed at operators seeking to pre-provision specific device settings

"Actiontec, a provider of broadband connectivity and broadband-powered solutions, has announced it shipped its 10 millionth broadband device since entering the market back in 2001. In honor of this milestone, the company is giving someone the chance to win $500 by submitting a video that explains how much they love their broadband connection."

"Coolest Feature...The built-in auto-configuration tool works with any type of computer or operating system. You can have your network up and running in minutes!"

"Verizon has tested the 100Mbps internet waters before back when it was rolling out Actiontec routers in select locales, but now the outfit is gearing up to roll it out en masse."

"Serving as the central access point in the home network, the Universal DSL Gateway can accommodate the diverse last mile network architectures supported by traditional service providers: CO-based DSLAM, FTTx over any network protocol (ATM or PTM)."

"...there?s a number of customers excited about this platform because it enables them to streamline their operations and carry one skew independent of whether the end consumer is able to get ADSL2+ or VDSL-type service feeds."

"This new line has been designed to ?fuel? the next generation of high-speed data, high definition television (HDTV) and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP)..."

"In addition to standard Ethernet and WiFi connectivity, the universal gateway provides enhanced networking options for distributing premium content, such as multiple HD video streams, throughout the digital home."

"The gateways are capable of transmitting multiple high definition video streams."

"If you'd rather run your network with a one-box integrated solution that doesn't require advanced technical knowledge to string together, the Actiontec GT724WGR is likely beefier and more feature-rich than whatever your DSL provider might have shipped as a courtesy for your business."

"So you may be thinking, ?This is great, but how well does it actually work?? In my tests, I found the difference between being hardwired into a router, and the MegaPlug AV adapter to be none at all. When using my Xbox 360 on the MegaPlug AV kit, I could not tell any latency or speed decrease from what I am used to with my standard wired setup."

"The beauty of powerline data technology is that it allows devices to be connected without costly and frustrating retrofit wiring projects."

"Home theater owners and 'gadgeteers' can enjoy enriched content anywhere in the house ? in the family room, living room, bedroom, or office ? without having to string cumbersome Ethernet cables throughout the hallway, open up walls for an expensive rewiring project, or struggle with slow and spotty wireless connections."

"In the end, I really think that the MegaPlug AV Powerline Gaming Kit is awesome and would highly recommend it to anyone with Internet access. Even if your house has wired LAN run throughout, you're likely to run into an instance where the MegaPlug AV Powerline Gaming Kit would come in handy. "

"These routers will be the perfect complement to the access network. They go well beyond just allowing more speed or bandwidth - they upgrade every key aspect of the FiOS experience," said Brian Whitton, executive director of access network design and integration for Verizon.

"The Actiontec ...devices 'will take our FiOS services far beyond anything in the marketplace right now and propel our FiOS customer base toward the kind of home that networking futurists once promised but we can now deliver,' said Tushar Saxena, director of home network technologies for Verizon, in a press release. He also is a regular speaker and presenter at broadband-focused shows."

Instead, the FiOS giant is releasing two new routers, the MI424-WR from Actiontec and the UltraLine Series 3 model 9100 by Westell, that increase the speed of YOUR network by boosting the throughput of the coax cables to your TV. The gain is said to push speeds from from 75 MBps to 175 MBps and play to the content sharing capabilities of the high-def DVRs.

The new routers feature greater capacity, supporting 175 Mbps over up to four Wi-Fi simultaneously running networks. QoS/traffic prioritization and security settings can be configured independently for each network, using integrated dual-core processors that can also support multiple applications such as home security, home monitoring and network security.

...the broadband service is set to roll out a new generation of gateway routers that will increase throughput speeds on coax cables from 75 MBps to 175 MBps.

Already a key vendor in the FiOS architecture, Actiontec has been providing Verizon with customer premise equipment for more than five years. This latest product selection further strengthens the relationship between the two companies.

...the new gateways, which Verizon will begin installing in homes within the next two months, offer some future-proofing for subsequent increases in speed -- and apparently the not-too-distant future. Tushar Saxena, Verizon?s director of home networking technologies, calls the new products ?devices for the next three to four years.?

Verizon said the units provide other features that take advantage of the bandwidth boost.

"This is all about future-proofing the home and making it GPON ready," says Tushar Saxena, director of home networking technologies for Verizon.

The new broadband routers, designed to Verizon's specifications by Actiontec and Westell, will use MoCA 1.1 technology to boost in-home speeds over coaxial cable to up to 175 Mbps from 75 Mbps and allow operation of multiple simultaneous Wi-Fi networks

To achieve this unprecedented performance level, Actiontec?s router features an advanced hardware design including an industry-first 64-bit, dual-core processor.

Actiontec has taken an approach of working with Communication Service Providers, such as Verizon, Qwest and TDS, to promulgate MoCA technology inside their residential gateways. They clearly see the value-add in working closely with these operators to introduce technology to consumers, so as to reduce customer troubles.

In-home installation and networking remains the hardest part of IPTV, so it?s no wonder that vendors are looking to innovate in that arena. Among recent innovations are Comtrend?s PowerGrid902, Universal Powerline Association compliant Ethernet adapter that promises self-installation of IPTV service and Actiontec's zControl home automation controller, which enables other in-home devices to be connected and controlled by PCs or mobile phones.

If you?re a DSL user with a bad case of box clutter, here?s some good news for you.

Overall, the general home broadband gateway market is now substantial, currently reaching about $6 billion annually, according to Infonetics estimates. And the increasing impact of IPTV triple-play is clear. For example, Actiontec Electronics Inc. has pointed out that it sold 4 million residential gateways, modems, and routers during its first decade of business, and then 1 million broadband gateways in four months in early 2007, mainly for triple-play IP video applications with Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers.

It's effective, and incredibly easy to set up. Received a score of 9 out of 10 and Editor's Choice.

Picture this, a system that will allow you to control almost every aspect of your home from whenever you are! How cool is that!

The setup procedure is extremely simple. Just add zControl to your home network, press the button on its front panel and the corresponding button on the Z-Wave device. The chosen device will be automatically added to the home Z-Wave network.

In fact, I am told that you can even use your cell phone as a controller. That will come in handy when you get home, and turn your lights on with your cell.

Not only can you control your home devices from your computer, but you can control them from any computer. All you need is an Internet connection, and you can even monitor your home via (non-included) IP cameras.
