Wireless to powerline local area network (LAN) solutions based on Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point products, connect a wireless device to the electrical wires in premises. The electrical wires build the "backbone" for other "wired" devices on the network, which are connected to this backbone by Corinex Powerline adapters. Any high-performance Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point extends the coverage of your network of electrical wires and provides access to the Internet and corporate or personal information from all mobile devices without expensive additional cabling infrastructure.
Powerline Communications
Corinex Powerline products (USB, Ethernet, Wall Mount, Router and Wireless) are designed to use existing AC electrical wiring within the home as a networking physical medium. Robust performance in the electrical noisy power line channel is enabled by the use of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. This multi-carrier modulation scheme allows devices to dynamically "surf the channel" - instantly shifting data from one carrier to another as noise and attenuation conditions change. The OFDM technology finds the low noise, low attenuation portions of the spectrum available to it and continues data transmission.
Corinex Powerline products have been optimized for highreliability networking applications. Internet and network access is available through every power outlet in the home or office. Corinex's HomePlug certified Powerline networking technology supports up to 14 Mbps data rates. Corinex Powerline adapters are certified by and compliant with the HomePlug Powerline Alliance Industry Specification 1.0.1. This ensures interoperability with other HomePlug devices. Powerline technology provides a high quality of service for the adapters to ensure secure, reliable channels for transferring files, streaming audio, video, or voice data and even online gaming.
What Can a Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point Provide?
The Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point supports 802.11b standard based wireless client devices and the entirely new designed and enhanced Corinex Powerline and CableLAN products family, consisting of:
The combination of the Corinex powerline and the wireless access point technology enhances the capabilities of WLAN technology and maximizes area coverage by utilizing existing electrical "wires" infrastructure to provide a cost effective network deployment.
Full Compatibility with IEEE 802.11b and HomePlug 1.0.1
The Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point (AP) fully complies with the IEEE 802.11b and the HomePlug 1.0.1 standard. This means that the wireless access point is fully interoperable with all other 802.11b compliant products. The access point uses microwave technology operating in the license-free 2.4 GHz band and offers bridging mode operation, DHCP client and IP filtering functionality. A dual (one external and one internal) dipole antenna provides superior polarized reception and diversity. The detachable external antenna can be replaced by any convenient third party antenna, according to customers needs. The AP's power jack is the connecting medium to the 14 Mbps digital powerline communication network based on the HomePlug 1.0.1 standard. This allows the easiest deployment of a wireless HotSpot area where every power outlet can be used as a powerline network interface to the access point.
Reliable Data Throughput
The highest possible data throughput at any moment is obtained by dynamic rate scaling at a maximum of 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps and 1 Mbps, determined by the wireless connection. The dynamic rate scaling broadens the range of the connectivity by decreasing the speed of the digital signal strength. Therefore the maximum speed on the network is 14 Mbps within the Powerline segment of the network.
Networking Security
The wireless access point provides a standard 40 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for enhanced data privacy for the wireless network segment and uses the 64/128bit WEP (Wireless) and 56bit DES (Powerline) link encryption with key management for secured communication over the powerline network segment. By using DSSS (wireless) and OFDM (powerline) technologies, data corruption, interference and unauthorized detection are minimized.
High Usability and Manageability
The Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point contains an HTTP server with a web configurable SNMP powerline agent. This enables you to connect to it and configure it by using your web browser. Every Corinex Powerline, CableLAN and Wireless product, no matter where it is located in the network, can be managed by the Corinex Open Powerline Management software or by using a web browser. This represents an ideal networking solution for homes, small to medium size offices, schools, hospitals, hotels and retail outlets, without pulling any new wires.
