Together, NETGEAR and Panasonic are enabling consumers to access and stream online content to their TVs, and create the ultimate, connected entertainment experience.

“The NETGEAR and Panasonic partnership will enable consumers to connect their home entertainment devices and move their online experiences and content into the living room,” NETGEAR director for consumer channels Brad Little says.

“The NETGEAR Wireless Dual Band USB adapter when partnered with the NETGEAR Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router can deliver the speed, bandwidth and reliability needed for video streaming.”

Delivering incredible speed and Wi-Fi range for consumers’ home networks, the NETGEAR N600 Wireless Dual Band USB adapter also features NETGEAR’s Push ‘N’ Connect technology which allows consumers to connect their Panasonic VIERA TV and wireless router with the push of a button and wirelessly stream internet content to the TV with the VIERA Cast IPTV technology.

VIERA Cast, which requires no additional equipment or set up, allows consumers to enjoy online content through an easy-to-use web interface that’s built into the TV. Web programming includes YouTube and the Picasa photo sharing service.

“As the line between the TV and the PC continues to blur, we’re seeing a steep uptake in the number of consumers that are connecting their TVs to the internet in order to create a more immersive entertainment experience in the home,” Panasonic display group vice president Henry Hauser says.

“We are dedicated to delivering the best entertainment experience possible and the NETGEAR adapter technology enables us to do just that with our Panasonic VIERA televisions and the VIERA Cast IPTV technology.”
