1 TechniSat PowerLine Webcast 2
The TechniSat PowerLine Webcast 2 is an optimal solution for installing a home network
using the existing power network - with no need for extensive and expensive cabling.
Implementing the system is quick and easy, and access speeds similar to those of LAN
technology can be achieved.
1.1 How the TechniSat PowerLine Webcast 2 works
The TechniSat PowerLine Webcast 2 uses the existing mains power network to transfer
data between different computers or network components. This is done by plugging
PowerLine adapters into existing power outlets in order to establish a network connection
via the building‘s internal power supply. The adapter modulates the signal and sends it to
the next adapter via the mains cabling. The signal is then reconverted and forwarded to the
PC or network components.
The process ensures that the mains network and data network do not interfere with each
other. Password encryption of data in the network prevents third parties from logging in.
