What exactly is dLAN?

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 dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household power grid to transfer data between computers and
other network components equipped with suitable adapters. As a result, any electrical socket 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. Net-
working via dLAN is fast and secure. The data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by third parties.
