MacWireless has just released the Powerline Network Adapter for Mac, a device that provides speeds of up to 10 times faster than DSL, the company claims. The networking solution is said to be particularly useful when your wireless signal has to deal with "enemies" such as concrete, metal, or other obstructions in the walls of your home or office. The Powerline Network costs $49.98. Interested parties should note that at least two Powerline Network Adapters are required to setup a powerline network.

Powerline Network Adapter offers a simple powerline network setup and is ideal for putting Access Points on multiple floors, MacWireless claims, adding that Mac users can connect to a powerline network with a single port ethernet switch.

"Powerline networking allows you to route your network through the electrical lines that are already built into your home or office," the company states on its website. "With speeds up to 10 times faster than DSL, this is a great way to get your ethernet network to other floors or rooms in your building, without the need to run wires. Powerline Network Adapters are particularly useful when concrete, metal, or other obstructions in the walls of your home or office block your wireless signals."
