devolo Launches dLAN Wireless Extender For More Flexible Home Networkingdevolo unites advantages of in-house HomePlug and WLAN in a single device for wireless surfing04 June, 2007 – Networking specialist devolo has launched the new dLAN Wireless extender, a home networking solution which combines the advantages of HomePlug and WLAN, to support wireless Internet access anywhere in the house. devolo’s new dLAN Wireless extender brings together the advantages of HomePlug and WLAN networking technologies in a single adaptor, supporting high-speed networking over existing electrical wiring and offering wireless access for mobile and laptop devices. The dLAN Wireless extender plug can be used in conjunction with PCs, laptops, Macs and game consoles and gives users the ability to access and share Internet resources from any room in the house via a wireless or Ethernet connection, with data transfer rates of up to 85Mbps via dLAN and 54Mbps via WLAN. Peter Huddleston, UK Country Manager at devolo said, “The dLAN Wireless extender has opened up new avenues in home networking. Users can now be fully connected to the network from anywhere in the house. The addition of the WLAN access point will enable users to connect to the network with laptops and other wireless devices.” Key advantages of the dLAN Wireless extender include its easy installation and flexible usage. The plug-and-play adaptor is simply plugged into a wall socket and functions just like a physical network cable, ready for immediate use. It makes use of the existing household power supply by converting any power socket in the home into an Ethernet network connection and wireless access point, without the need for any additional wiring to be installed. The dLAN Wireless extender features strong security with WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption over WLAN, ensuring network connections are secured at all times, and HomePlug data transmissions protected by powerful DESpro encryption. The devolo dLAN Wireless extender Starter Kit (which includes a dLAN Highspeed adapter) is retailing at RRP £139.99, or individually at RRP £99.99.

Focusing on the consumer data communications marketplace, devolo has taken over all the technological expertise from ELSA AG along with the brand names and product rights for “MicroLink”. 20 years of experience in developing data communications solutions provides the ultimate foundation for producing a broad spectrum of high quality products. Whilst the UK will focus primarily on the dLAN HomePlug networking range of products, the current European range also includes analogue modems, ADSL modems and focused networking technologies for private consumers and professional business users. Due to the many years of experience that our employees collectively possess, a relatively young company like devolo can assure the quality of its products straight from the outset. In addition, our in-house R&D team constantly ensure that a flow of innovative products are developed to match market requirements. |
