dLAN® 1200+ from devolo – for the first time, transmit data easily over
the power line at speeds up to 1.2 gigabits per second
Aachen, Germany, August 19, 2014 – With the dLAN® 1200+, devolo presents the first
dLAN adapter of the gigabit generation. After the success of the dLAN 650 series,
devolo is now doubling the speed of its Powerline adapters, surpassing the gigabit
boundary. The first adapter of the new generation offers users a bandwidth of up to
1200 Mbps. This is possible because of the combination of devolo range+
Technology and the newest Powerline chip generation. The extremely highperforming electronics now enable MIMO technology to also be used in Powerline
data transmission. The dLAN 1200+ is the perfect choice for everyone who wants to
transport large amounts of data on their home network and bridge large distances.
The "Generation Gigabit" from devolo makes maximum bandwidth available in any
room of the home.
The topics of this press release:
- 12 years of expertise = 1.2 gigabit bandwidth
- Fast, economical, easy
- Gigabit Ethernet and integrated electrical socket with child-safety feature
- Compatible with dLAN 200, 500 and 650, availability and price
12 years of expertise = 1.2 gigabit bandwidth
devolo AG has been an expert in Powerline communication for twelve years. No other
company has specialised so greatly in easy data transmission via power lines. There are
currently over 70 employees at the corporate headquarters in Aachen, Germany, alone
working in the field of Research and Development. Their combined expertise can be seen in
the hardware, firmware and software of the devolo Powerline adapters. Their objective is to
continuously maintain and expand both the market leadership and technological leadership
of the company. This is impressively demonstrated in the dLAN 1200+: For the first time
devolo brings an adapter to the market that allows data transmission of up to 1.2 gigabits
per second.
Fast, economical, easy
With transmission rates extending into the gigabit range, devolo opens up a new dimension
in Powerline communication. The dLAN 1200+ with 1.2 Gbps is not only the fastest but also
the most stable dLAN adapter with the widest coverage of all time thanks to range+
Technology including MIMO. The best possible quality of broadband Internet is thus
available at every power outlet of the home.
Furthermore, the devolo engineers have been successful in lowering the adapter's power
consumption, despite doubling the speed. When operating, the dLAN 1200+ uses a
maximum of 4.2 watts. If the connected terminal device is switched off, the adapter also
automatically goes into standby mode and saves even more energy working with 0.7 watts.
One thing about the dLAN 1200+ has not changed, and for good reason: installation is still
as easy as you would expect from devolo. One adapter is connected to the router using the
Ethernet cable provided and plugged into a nearby power outlet. The user follows a similar
procedure to connect the second one to the terminal device and the network connection is
already available. devolo recommends also activating the 128-bit AES encryption by
touching the button. This makes unauthorised access to the network even more difficult.
Gigabit Ethernet and integrated electrical socket with child-safety features
To live up to the high performance of the Powerline chip, the dLAN 1200+ is equipped with
a gigabit Ethernet connection. A corresponding gigabit Ethernet cable is provided with every
dLAN 1200+.
For additional performance optimisation, the adapter has an integrated electrical socket.
This provides the advantage of no power outlet going to waste for the user. Furthermore,
the integrated electrical socket is equipped with a high-performance mains filter that reliably
prevents possible interference from other devices connected to the mains circuit. For
maximum security, the integrated electrical socket also has a child-safety feature.
Compatible with dLAN 200, 500 and 650, availability and price
The new devolo dLAN 1200 generation is fully compatible with all dLAN 200, dLAN 500 and
dLAN 650 models and additional Powerline adapters in accordance with the HomePlug
AV(2) standard. The sales launch will take place in September 2014. The adapter can also
be used as a Starter Kit for setting up a home network and as an individual device for
adding to an existing Powerline installation. The Starter Kit is offered at 139.90 euros, the
single adapter costs 74.90 euros.
