2. Introduction

In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the Homeplug technology and

introduce it briefly.

2.1 What exactly is Homeplug?

Homeplug is home and office networking using the electric wiring already

installed in the building.

Cost factor and transmission quality

Homeplug is an economical and easy-to-use networking technology. You don't

need to lay cables and you can connect to the home network at every power

point.

The Homeplug standard modulates and demodulates additional frequencies on

the power lines. Modulation and demodulation is a well-known and proven

method of data transmission, which has been in use in other applications for a

number of years. Now it is used to set up Internet and network accesses in the

home or office. Depending on the damping factor, distances of at least 200

meters can be covered.

With a maximum data rate up to 500 Mbps and symmetrical upload and

download speeds, Homeplug is comparable to traditional Ethernet network

solutions.

Data security and radiation

128-bit AES encryption is used, which guarantees secure data transfer within the

network.
