PlugLAN™ Commercial Powerline Products
Commercial Powerline Solutions for Delivering Internet to Every Room, Every Outlet, and Every Guest
The need for fast and convenient information access is becoming critical. Customers expect and demand high-speed, high-availability network access and data communication capabilities. Powerline networking solutions from Asoka® provide a competitive advantage to carriers and system integrators who service residential and commercial markets.
The PlugLAN solution consists of the following:
Asoka's PlugLAN products are designed for in-building powerline networking (PLN) deployments in multi-dwelling and multi-tenant commercial properties. PlugLAN creates a cost effective, high-performance network using the existing electrical distribution lines within a commercial building to quickly deliver broadband network services to every power outlet. For high-speed Internet access, data, VoIP, standard and high definition (SD and HD) TV, IPTV, security, and surveillance services, Asoka's solution combines powerline networking technology with enterprise-class management, security, and scalability.
PlugLAN can easily be deployed in hotels, apartments, schools, and office buildings, turning every electrical outlet into a network connection.
Rapid Deployment – Asoka's PlugLAN solution is easy to install and quick to deploy. Since PlugLAN uses the existing electrical infrastructure, savings in both cost and time are substantial when compared to technologies requiring the installation of new or dedicated wiring. The ease-of-deployment also limits disruption to everyday business activities.
High Bandwidth – Satisfying the most bandwidth-intensive applications, Asoka's PlugLAN solution can deliver transmission rates up to 85 Mbps. Segment bursting on the powerline minimizes the demands on the receiver resources and maximizes the throughput of the network, while still providing excellent latency response and jitter performance.
Three-Phase Signal Distribution – Asoka's PlugLAN solution is designed to provide active connectivity in a three-phase electrical environment to meet the specifications found in commercial power systems. Every electrical outlet can be transformed into a network connection.
Virtual Local Area Network – Asoka PlugLAN features built in 802.1Q VLAN capabilities for enhanced network security. This feature allows a single client device or group of client devices to operate on their own virtual LAN and/or restrict access to a server, a portion of the network, or the use of certain applications.
Quality of Service – Built in QoS features provide the necessary bandwidth for multimedia payloads including voice, data, audio, and video. This feature allows administrators to prioritize mission-critical and/or bandwidth-intensive traffic, such as IP telephony or video streaming over less time-sensitive applications such as FTP or e-mail.
Plug-and-Play Connectivity – Users will find Asoka's PlugLAN solution to be hassle-free and easy to operate. There are no drivers or additional software to install, making connectivity simple while lowering management and support costs. This allows PlugLAN to be fully compatible with any IP client including non-Windows based computers, VoIP phones, and other network hardware devices.
Remote Management – The entire PlugLAN powerline communications network, including all gateways and customer premises equipment, can be remotely managed via a Web browser or SNMP interface. Network statistics, including log files, usage reports, and traffic information, can be collected remotely to identify potential network problems before they impact users.
