Power-line communication (also known as power-line carrier or PLC) carries data on a conductor that is also used simultaneously for AC. In a simple home network, the Internet gateway router connects via Ethernet cable to a powerline adapter, which in turn plugs into a nearby power outlet. A second adapter, plugged into any other outlet in the home, connects via Ethernet cable to any Ethernet device (e.g., computer, printer, IP phone, gaming station). Communications between the router and Ethernet devices are then conveyed over existing.
A wide range of power-line communication technologies are needed for different applications, ranging from home automation to Internet access which is often called broadband over power lines (BPL). BPL uses higher frequencies, a wider frequency range and different technologies compared to other forms of power-line communications to provide high-rate communication over longer distances.
HomePlug is the family name for various power line communications specifications under the HomePlug designation. Some HomePlug specifications target broadband applications such as in-home distribution of low data rate IPTV, gaming, and Internet content, while others focus on low power, low throughput, and extended operating temperatures for applications such as smart power meters and in-home communications between electric systems and appliances.
Yes, the HomePlug AV standard uses 128-bit AES encrypted..
Powerline is an ideal optional solution when the existing Internet signal does not sufficiently supply the range, or in a specific application where cable, wireless solution does not work out.
Ideally in a single socket. If the adapter is placed in a multiple wall socket, it should be used there alone if possible. You can easily connect other devices or a power strip via the adapter’s socket.
Yes, G.hn is in the roadmap.
We have our own focus, we make a differentiation in product type. Not only we provide home use powerline adapter, we put more focus on embedded modules and device for industry application.
