Powerline Networking Advantages

Advanced Powerline Network Technologies

With Plaster Networks, users can easily build or extend a powerline network using the existing electrical wiring in their homes, providing a much more cost-effective solution when compared to installing dedicated Cat 5 or Cat 6 network cables. What’s more, relocating a network outlet is as simple as unplugging the powerline adapter and moving the unit to another receptacle.

Plaster Networks powerline Ethernet adapters adhere to the HomePlug AV standard (www.homeplug.org) and interoperate with any HomePlug AV-based device on the market. On top of the HomePlug AV standard, Plaster Networks adds diagnostics and management features that ensure the highest levels of usability, security, performance, and reliability over other powerline Ethernet products.

• Ease of Installation and Maintenance: Plaster Networks’ solution automatically manages configuration and connectivity among powerline adapters in your home or office building. The sophisticated measurement and analysis capabilities of Plaster Networks Service help detect and pinpoint the location of potential network problems that can cause lost connections or slow performance. Users do not need to become network technicians to monitor and diagnose problems in their home or office environment.
• Broadband Performance: Plaster Networks’ powerline adapters support high-speed Ethernet connections through any electrical outlet in the home or office. The underlying HomePlug AV standard supports application-level throughputs that can reach 100Mbps for interactive gaming, multimedia streaming, high-speed network backup, and IPTV in the office or home. Plaster Networks introduces added capabilities through remote diagnostics and management.
• Security: Plaster Networks simplifies the task of configuring and maintaining a secure powerline network, based on 128-bit AES encryption implemented with the HomePlug AV standard. Plaster Networks Service allows you to update the password for your entire network with one click, providing greater protection against unauthorized users.
