IN-LAN is an intelligent and secure technology that lets you set up a home network
easily via your household power grid - without the need of complex and expensive
dedicated cabling. IN-LAN communication now attains speeds you would expect
from other LAN technologies.
IN-LAN uses the household power grid to transfer data between computers
equipped with suitable adaptors and other network components. As a result, any
power outlet can be used as a network access point. State-of-the-art technology en-
sures that the power and data networks do not interfere with each other.

/ 90 Mbps UDP) with a range of up to 150m which makes it ideal for applications

and fast Internet access. Connecting your IN-LAN adaptor to an electrical outlet
transforms the home-based electrical system into a fast network with high data
throughput with maximum data security using the powerful 128-bit AES encryp-
tion. Simply press the Pair Button on the IN-LAN adaptor to establish an open
network or use the Atheros configuration wizard to set up custom encryption for
