NeverWire 14, which was unveiled in New York City just six weeks ago, is the only freestanding powerplug-to-Ethernet data network device that turns any AC outlet into a 10 BASE-T Ethernet port, transmitting voice and data signals over standard electrical wiring. The product, which the user simply plugs into any networkable device and then into an AC power outlet, makes broadband powerline home networking available from any Ethernet protocol device including cable modems, PCs, set-top-boxes, and residential gateways. NeverWire 14, which uses Intellon Corporation's Power Packet chip technology and is compliant with the HomePlug Powerline Alliance 1.0 specification, is the first high-speed networking device to extend the reach of the Internet and broadband access networks to every electrical outlet within the home.

Knab explains that many of Phonex Corporation's strategic partners are those designing applications for the high-speed digital home, but who are also struggling with the wiring and installation of these applications. "NeverWire 14 makes it easy to provide ultra high-speed communication for the nearly 9 million homes with cable modems and DSL Internet service since it transmits signals to any outlet in the home without wires," said Knab. "The number of homes with broadband applications is growing by 16 percent a year in the U.S., so it's crucial that Phonex help our technology partners solve installation problems, and to make high-speed networking easy and affordable for the mass consumer."

NeverWire 14 products have a U.S. suggested retail price of $99.95 per node.
