About Home Phone Networking Technology
The USB Home PhoneLine 1Mbps Network Adapter
utilizes a technology known as Frequency Division
Multiplexing (FDM) which essentially divides the
- 1 -
data travelling over the phone lines into separate
frequencies - one for voice, one for high-bandwidth
net access such as DSL, and one for the network data.
These frequencies can coexist on the same telephone
line without impacting one another.
The 1 Megabit-per-second (one million bits-persecond) data rate is 18 times that of the fastest analog
modems available, which runs at 56Kbps. Even highspeed modem, xDSL, and ISDN connections will
perform at full speed on a home network.
Note: Because of the limitations of standard
telephone cables, Home Phone Networking
devices require that your cabling does not
exceed a total length of 500 feet for your
entire network.
