The PLA-402 v3 securely communicates with each other at high data transfer
rates. It uses 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ensure safe transfer
of information. See
Chapter 10 on page 85 for speeds currently supported by the
PLA-402 v3 and detailed product specifications.
Additionally, the Quality of Service (QoS) feature of the PLA-402 v3 (refer to
Section 5.6 on page 41 ) prioritizes voice, video and data traffic (such web
browsing, file transfer and e-mail). The figure below illustrates the advantage of
implementing QoS.
