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 net-
works do not interfere with one another. Networking via dLAN is fast and
secure. The data is encrypted to prevent easy interception by third parties.

methods guarantee automatic prioritisation of the image and sound signals and
thus interference-free transmission.
