1. Introduction
In this section, we will give you an overview of the new PLT technology and will introduce you
to the SAGEM TURBO PLUG adapter.
1.1 What does "Power Line" stand for?
In addition to the wired and wireless network technologies (LAN and Wireless LAN) that are
already familiar in the domestic networks domain, you now have another "Power Line"
technology. "Power Line" technology consists in setting up a domestic network via your
home's electrical installation.
Transmission costs and quality
"Power Line" technology represents an economical and practical networking method. There is
no longer a need to run numerous additional cables, and each power outlet serves as a point
of access to the domestic network.
For "Power Line" technology, the electrical cables receive additional frequency modulations.
The methods applied here are known and proven in data transmission and have been used for
many years in other sectors. Today, PLT can be used to set up links to the Internet or to local
area networks (in your home or at the office). Depending on the loss factor, distances up to
200 meters can be covered.
With a data rate of up to 85 Mbit/s and symmetrical upload and download capabilities, the
"Power Line" technology is outstripping the conventional Ethernet networking solutions for
domestic networks. Depending on the quality of the cables, bandwidths of 35 Mbit/s can be
achieved in practice, which is perfectly adequate for extending the DSL connection into all the
rooms of your home.
Data Confidentiality
For security reasons, software-activated 56-bit encryption is recommended because it
guarantees data transfers in total safety within the network.

1.2 What can the SAGEM TURBO PLUG adapters do for you?
The SAGEM TURBO PLUG adapters will let you create or extend a domestic network easily
and inexpensively. The IT operations, such as data interchanges, access to a common printer
within the private network or access to the Internet, are handled via your home's electrical
installation. An adapter can be used to convert each of your home's power outlets into a
network access point. This gives you total freedom, from cellar to attic, with everything done
via the power outlet.
The advantages provided by networking various computers within your home or office are
obvious:
♦Shared use of a single Internet access (for example, Internet access by DSL),
♦Shared use of a single printer (connected to a computer),
♦Shared access to data backed up centrally,
♦Connection of a games console,
♦Networked multi-player games.
You will find typical applications illustrating various networks, and general
comments in the section entitled "Everything you need to know about the
domestic network".
