The Solwise Home Plug Ethernet Adaptor provides No New Wires communications to any room, over any powerline wires, at the speed of up to 200Mbps. This Home Plug adapter is the same as the NET-PL-200-AV-PUSH but uses higher power on the Home Plug signal. Actual output power is still significantly lower than that of a mobile phone or similar. The high power adapter is still fully legal and meets CE Certification. This adapter is ideal if you suffer with dirty or noisy mains, the Solwise office suffers from very noisy mains and in testing we found a 30% improvement in using the higher power adapters.
Targeted at the residential users, the Solwise Home Plug AV unit is using Intellons INT6400 high-speed powerline chipset. With transfer rates of 200Mbps, Ethernet Home Plug AV can easily support full multimedia home networking throughout the whole house including simultaneous High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) video distribution, whole-house audio, Voice Over IP and high speed Internet in addition to data networking. It uses the power lines already installed in a home as a path to transmit digital data, voice, audio and video between devices.
Enhanced Quality of Service (QOS) also provides the guaranteed bandwidth reservations for multimedia payloads including TV over IP (IPTV), higher data rate broadband sharing, Online-Gaming, VoIP Calls, extending Wireless LANs coverage, Audio-Video transmission across the network as well as Network camera connectivity.
It is a plug, push and play solution that can be used wherever there is a wall socket, acting just like a physical network cable, streaming bandwidth to any room in the house. I t comes with a 128-bit AES encryption ensuring that your network communications is free from eavesdroppers and hackers. The Auto MDI/MDIX functionality of the Solwise Home Plug AV also simplifies and ensures a hassle free installation.
The Solwise Home Plug AV offers SimpleConnect - a simpler way to set up your Home Plug network. With just the press of a button, Home Plug AV devices can create or join a secure network. No computer is needed.
To ensure maximum security, the button on each Home Plug AV device in the network must be pushed within 2 minutes of the first one being pushed. More units can be added later, though - details are in the manual. You do not need to reset the whole Home Plug AV network.
These units are sold as singles, you will require at least two to create your network. These versions of the AV products will talk to other AV products so long as they are on version 3 firmware or newer.
