The PlugLAN™ 8650 SmartBridge from Asoka® works with the PlugLAN Gateway and other components in the PlugLAN family, delivering a complete high-speed networking solution to commercial buildings and Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). This portable customer premises equipment (CPE) device turns any electrical outlet into a 2-port Ethernet network connection by simply plugging into any PlugLAN-enabled electrical outlet.
Using the PlugLAN 8650
A high-speed Ethernet connection to the PlugLAN system is securely established over existing electrical lines, delivering up to 85Mbps throughput. Two Ethernet ports allow two devices to be connected, such as a printer and computer, or Set-Top Box and game console.
With the PlugLAN 8650
The 8650 SmartBridge combines robust performance with advanced security and network management functionalities. Built-in data encryption and VLAN capabilities ensure security and privacy to every connection – ideal for apartments with shared electrical systems. Each device can be controlled either independently or by using Asoka’s PowerView™ management software.
Simple to Plug In and Connect
Using the world’s most pervasive and ubiquitous network architecture – ordinary electrical wiring – as the medium for data transmission, the PlugLAN family of products provide a flexible data and multimedia network solution throughout an entire hotel, office or multi-dwelling unit (MDU). Expensive cabling retrofits and wireless dead spots are now things of the past. PlugLAN 8650 turns every power outlet into an Ethernet network connection, providing a new dimension of flexibility for computers and other networked devices. Fully plug-and-play, the 8650 SmartBridge provides the perfect combination of functionality and convenience without requiring any software.
