2Introduction
dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economical-
ly via your household electrical wiring, without the
need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.
2.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household
power grid to transfer data between computers
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 technology ensures that the
power and data networks do not interfere with one an-
other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by
third parties.
With dLAN adapters, not only network signals can eas-
ily be transferred via the mains supply. Video signals in
HD standard and audio signals in digital CD quality can
be quickly and easily distributed everywhere in the
house this way.
2.2 What does SAT>IP stand for?
SAT>IP is a new communication protocol for receiving
and distributing satellite signals. It converts the televi-
sion signals (DVB-S/S2) into signals that Internet-based
terminal devices can read, so that satellite television is
possible even on IP devices having no integrated satel-
lite receiver (such as smartphones and tablets). The
satellite signals can be forwarded within the home net-
work either wirelessly or by cable.
