    In recent years, telecom service providers have
introduced innovative new services for delivering digital
content over ADSL networks to digital media adapters (DMA)
and IPTV set-top-box that require easy setup and
connectivity.

    D-Link's DHP-200 adapters leverage HomePlug-based
technology, allowing IPTV subscribers of Chunghwa Telecom
to achieve connectivity between their access modems and
IPTV set-top-box using the existing power lines in their
homes.  Based on Intellon Corporation's advanced HomePlug
1.0 with Turbo technology, customers can solve their end to
end connectivity problem around their entertainment center.
After successfully testing the HomePlug 1.0 with Turbo
adapters from D-Link, Chunghwa Telecom decided to adopt
D-Link adapters for its subscribers. 

    "D-Link is excited to be selected by the largest
telecom service provider in Taiwan for their IPTV
deployments," said AJ Wang, CTO of D-Link. 
"D-Link's new HomePlug adapter represents the simplest
way to connect to end points for IPTV installations."

    "We are happy to be working with D-Link to address
Chunghwa Telecom's need for fast, secure and reliable
whole-house networking for their IPTV service," stated
Cameron McCaskill, vice president of business development
for Intellon. "Our No New Wires(R) Homeplug-based
integrated circuits are being chosen by manufacturers and
service providers worldwide to meet the technical demands
of whole-house service deployment and media
distribution."
