One of the major drawbacks in setting up home network is the absence of
required wiring inside the house to interconnect networked computers. In
recent years several technologies have attempted to address the issue. The
most prominent technology so far is the family of WIFI (802.11 X) products.
Recently, however, another technology called HomePlug has come forth. It
uses electrical grids, already available inside walls to transmit data from
computer to computer. HomePlug technology modulates computer data in a
way to enable them use power grid as a medium of transmission from point
to point. Using this technology, two computers have a virtual Ethernet
connection without the need to be physically connected to each other at the
speed of up to 200Mbps. With transfer rates of 200Mbps, HomePlug AV
allows you to conveniently and simultaneously perform HD video streaming,
Voice over IP calling, broadband Internet browsing, and file sharing within
the network.
HomePlug AV comes with the HomePlug AV Utility. This software allows
you to enable the 128-bit AES encryption technology and configure the
device settings of local and remote devices.
