Functionality and Application
By using the TechniLAN components, it is possible to quickly and easily upgrade an existing coaxial
cable network to a home network which electronic devices with Ethernet connections can use to
communicate with each other and all of this without drilling, laying cable or using wireless options.
In order to upgrade an existing satellite distribution system, all that is needed is a TechniLAN
signal combiner, i.e. the TechniLAN 4/4 aktiv which is to be installed upstream from an existing
multi-switch into the integrated participant sockets. Then, the existing antenna outlets need to be
replaced with the TechniLAN participant sockets.
Together with the TechniLAN participant sockets, the TechniLAN 4/4 aktiv is capable of making
network functionality possible within existing star-formed distribution systems.
The TechniLAN system can be used in combination with all TechniSat multi-switches from the
latest series, whether cascaded or just installed within the basic unit. This means that each
satellite distribution with TechniSwitch, TechniSystem, GigaSwitch, GigaSystem and GigaSet multi-
switches can also be used as a home network for up to four TV outlets per installed TechniLAN
4/4 aktiv.
It is even possible to apply this technology to broadband building distribution systems with star-
formed distribution structures.
Internet capable TV devices and network components such as PCs, NAS servers, printers or DSL
routers, can easily be connected with each other using TechniLAN.
With a data rate of approx. 200 Mbit/s, the resulting network connections are best equipped,
even for HD video streams

. In this manner, there is of course also enough broadband for internet
radio and music, pictures as well as all other common internet usages.
By using the shielded TV cable, which is usually installed behind plaster, there is no additional
electromagnetic radiation or risk of eavesdropping as in the case of wireless networks (WLAN).
Contrary to WLAN, there are also no network connection interferences in the 2.4 GHz range
such as with cordless telephones, Bluetooth, wireless networks or RC technology.

prerequisite is that the internet connection has the 3 Mbit/s necessary for video applications
