D-Link today introduced the DHP-303 PowerLine HD Network Starter Kit. The kit has two UPA-based adapters spec’d at up to 200 Mbps maximum raw throughput.
Setup is quick and easy by pushing a button on each adapter to set up a 3DES-encrypted connection. Other features include automatic QoS and a power-saving mode that powers down each adapter when it is not in use.
The DHP-303 is available immediately at $139.99 MSRP for the kit with two adapters.
Motorola today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Netopia, Inc. The transaction has a total equity value of approximately $208 million on a fully-diluted basis.
Netopia is a leader in providing carrier-class broadband customer premise equipment (CPE), remote management software, and services to telecom operators worldwide. The company provides a full portfolio of products designed for DSL networks, including wired and wireless modems, routers, and gateways. The company's products deliver voice, video, data, and other advanced services to residential and business customers.
Linksys today rolled out a new round of services and products aimed at increasing its share of the small business networking market and forming a tighter bond with parent Cisco's VAR programs.
Along with a new financing program through Wells Fargo and enhancements to its Linksys Partner Connection Program for VARs, two new gigabit smart switches and two new Linksys One Service routers were announced.
So if Cisco doesn't want Linksys, who does?
