Introduction - Extollo LANSocket 1500 Product Manual

Introduction

Extollo Communications LANSocket 1500 Powerline adapters are based on the HomePlug AV
and AV2 standards. The adapters let you build or expand your current home network using the
existing electrical power lines in your house.
Extollo's HomePlug Powerline adapters let you extend the Internet and distribute entertainment
content such as streaming video throughout the home without installing Ethernet wiring. This is in
comparison to wireless networking, whose maximum range may sometimes still not suffice.
Power outlets are pervasive throughout the home. Residences have multiple power outlets
installed in every room. Connecting a computer or media box to a Powerline network can normally
be done quickly anywhere in the home. Extollo's Powerline technology leverages existing power
outlets to provide both increased performance and coverage.
Additionally, the convenience of networking any device through a power outlet enables exciting
new services to be distributed throughout the home. The performance of Extollo's Powerline AV2
adapters enables the delivery of throughput intensive applications such as multiple Ultra HD video
streams, online gaming and security camera video.
