What is Powerline or PowerLAN?
Powerline Communications Technology, or PLC for short, uses the conventional 230-V power lines of an apartment or house as a medium for transmitting internet data. The data is converted and sent as a signal over the power lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the power and data networks do not interfere with each other. Thus, every socket in the living space becomes a potential access point for high-speed internet.
LAN through sockets? No problem! Powerline adapters from devolo utilize the three wires of the circuit (Phase L, Neutral N, and Ground PE). In combination with the G.hn standard, a fast and stable gigabit powerline network with currently up to 2,400 Mbit/s can be realized. Depending on the product, WiFi can be used at each access point in the house, or a LAN cable can be connected.
