To be quite frank about it, Wi-Fi causes on occasion time delay and dropped lines during online play, regardless if you're using Microsoft's Xbox 360 or Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3). So this solution being offered by powerline chipset supplier DS2 might be of help to all of us.

The Spain-based company just announced its UPA compliant 200Mbps chip that is compatible with your average, standard wall sockets. Dubbed as "UPA Plugtested 200Mbps chipset," DS2 promised that this should provide a simple and reliable broadband connectivity that offers the necessary bandwidth for uninterrupted high performance online gaming. Zero latency, or so they say.

Victor Dominguez, Director of Strategy and Standardization at DS2 had this to say about the product:

Our technology extends high-performance Internet connections to any room in the home, making it possible for consumers to enjoy high-quality, high-definition online gaming and other bandwidth-hungry applications without interruption.


Anyway, if you're interested to give this product a try, DS2 added that the chipset can be purchased in the following technologically advanced network products providers:
  • Allnet

  • Comtrend Corporation
  • Conceptronic
  • D-Link, Defidev

It's neat how they can now send an internet connection even through power lines without interference when using the correct frequency. True broadband for all, on the way!
