Introduction 7

2Introduction

dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economical­ly via your household electrical wiring, without the
need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.
The available performance and effort required for the
installation also compares favourably to traditional
methods.

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) 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 networks do not interfere with one an­other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key (128-bit-AES encryption)
to prevent interception by third parties.
