A Powerful Tip From The Floor at CES

A Powerful Tip From The Floor at CES

The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is well underway here in Las Vegas and while it’s impossible to take in everything (it is the world’s largest trade show after all) one thing is perfectly clear: the need for speed has never been greater!

Everywhere you go, there’s a new take on the convergence of the Internet and television. Sony came into CES with the lead having already made a big push with its Internet TVs powered by Google TV, but they made no new product introductions here, giving the rest of the world a chance to catch up.

Why does this matter to you? Well, pretty soon the idea of a TV that isn’t Internet connected will be simply unfathomable but – and this is a big but – your present wireless broadband may not be up to the task of providing the necessary speed for all the Internet devices that will proliferate throughout your household. Soon you may have several Internet TVs along with Blu-rays, 3D and huge screens – and they all need greater speed. Not to mention, if you’re in the habit of streaming movies and other video programming from services like Netflix, you probably are already sick of pauses and glitches in the programming.

The fact is that most wireless broadband won’t be able deliver the performance required of having multiple devices in one house…but Ethernet will. It’s just faster. The problem is that older homes generally aren’t wired for Ethernet and the very idea of ripping out all the walls to retrofit for Ethernet stops most people right in their tracks.

The good news is there’s an easier way. While you may not have Ethernet coursing through your house, you do have plenty of wires – electric wires. The trick is turn those common copper wires into Ethernet and that happens to be a relatively simple matter. New connectivity devices have hit the market that let you place a base station near your cable broadband connection. Plug the device into the wall socket, run an HDMI Cable (Monster, of course) into the connectivity device and that room is set to deliver Ethernet performance to any HDMI enabled device in that room.

The genius part comes when you want the same Ethernet performance in any other room in the device. Just plug in another connectivity device to any wall socket and you can connect it to any HDMI device in the room. No muss, no fuss, no ripped out drywall and long cable runs.

Monster is leading the way to easier in-home connectivity with its PowerNet series of home Ethernet connectivity products. Depending on your needs, you can connect as many as three HDMI enabled devices to a single PowerNet unit and enjoy hassle free blazing speed.

Finally you can get the speed you need to power your Internet TV’s, Blu-Rays, 3D screens, and other devices
