2.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN
(

etwork) uses the household
power grid to transfer data between computers
equipped with suitable adapters and other network
components. As a result, any power outlet can be used
as a network access point. The data is modulated prior
to transfer and sent as a signal via household power
lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the
power and data networks do not interfere with one an-
other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key to prevent easy intercep-
tion by third parties.
With dLAN adapters, not only network signals can eas-
ily be transferred via the mains supply. Video signals in
HD standard and audio signals in digital CD quality can
be quickly and easily distributed everywhere in the
house this way.
