What Exactly Is Dlan; Dlan 550 Duo - Devolo dLAN 550 duo+ Manual

13 Introduction

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the house-
hold power grid to transfer data between comput-
ers 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 technolo-
gy ensures that the power and data networks do
not interfere with one another. Networking via
dLAN is fast and secure. The data is encrypted us-
ing a key to prevent interception by third parties.
