    Product Overview Extollo’s LANSocket 1500 Powerline adapters are based on Broadcom’s 60500 multiPHY SoC. Broadcom’s 60500 SoC is compliant to HomePlug’s AV2 specification. Extollo’s 1500 series of Powerline adapters can use all three electrical wires that are present in a home to provide application speeds of up to 500 Mbps using MIMO with beam-forming technology.
  • Page 10: Ethernet Packet Flow

    MIMO increases the number of transmission paths across the Powerlines. Two line drivers and receivers enable the 1500 adapters to simultaneously transmit on any two of the three electrical powerline wires; Line, Neutral and Ground. The LANSocket 1500 MIMO paths consist of: Line- Neutral or Line-Ground.
