I could not download the press release from the B&O site (why?), but you can find more here:

http://article.wn.com/view/2014/02/04/04022014_Bang_Olufsen_targets_growing_integrated_home_techno/

In the article on another website there is a picture of the device, but it is rather small. You can't recognize the connections of it.

I guess this is going to succeed the MLGW - but can it be used instead of the NL-ML-converter as well?

Does anyone know more?

Greetings Millemissen

So, the MLGW becomes obsolete? I thought about getting one but after reading that...!?

Or will a MLGW AND a BeoLink Gateway be necessary to combine old ML and new NL systems?

I think that is the same, but without Masterlink connection.

So we need a NL-ML converter also to make the "old " ML system to integrate with it? Not the MLGW and the new Beolink Gateway connected together i suppose?..

Edit:

This is what they say about the connections:

"At first glance, BeoLink Gateway is an unassuming affair with just a few connections: Master and Network Links that connect to Bang & Olufsen's own BeoLink ecosystem, and Ethernet and USB ports that connect to third-party control systems and devices."

So this also works with the old ML system 😁

So no need for the NL/ML-converter any more?

My quess is: No, there is not! (if you need the 'homeautomation integration' in your setup).

But my guess is also that the price will be above that of NL/ML-converter....

....because it has the functionallity of the MLGW and the NL/ML-converter combined in one device.

Looking forward to futher information.

By the way - did anyone notice that the BSys4 was 'announced' as well - probably because of the new/additional 'cinema solution' feature!

This isn't a NL/ML converter, you can connect the ML if you have a ML network or the NL if you have an NL network. But this is in no way a converter.

The ML Gateway had the 2 connections as well and wasn't a connector.
