HomePlug 8500W Wireless Adapter
Introduction
The HomePlug 8500W uses the power cables already provided inside buildings to
transmit signals to provide a reliable network of computers and network equipment.
Its maximum transmission rate of 85 Mbps means that the HomePlug 8500W can
cope with sophisticated applications such as internet telephony, high resolution video
applications and internet access, reliably and simultaneously.
The technology implemented by the HomePlug modulates the computer data so that
it is possible to transfer it from point−to−point via the power lines. Using this
technology, two computers have a virtual network connection without the units
actually being physically connected to each other.
