Wednesday, 27 June 2007

Networking specialist devolo has achieved international broadband accreditation from the DSL Forum, a  worldwide consortium of 200 leading service providers, which establish standards for the entire  Broadband  DSL market.

Certification means devolo's HomePlug range is the only in-house powerline technology to be  supported by DSL modems and routers, which carry DSL Forum approval.

All products in devolo's range are now TR 069 compatible,a  technical standard defined by the  DSL Forum, which allows remote configuration and diagnosis of all devices on a Broadband network.

This  certification applies to all products in devolo's advanced HomePlug range,supporting high-definition multi-media entertainment and triple play services, and full
multimedia home networking, including HDTV, video- streaming, and Internet telephony.

The accreditation applies to devolo's latest product, the dLAN   Wireless  extender,  which  brings  together the advantages of HomePlug and WLAN networking  technologies for  the first time in a single adaptor, supporting high- speed  networking  over  existing electrical  wiring  and offering wireless access for mobile and laptop devices.

The dLAN Wireless extender plug can be used in conjunction with PCs, laptops, Macs and game consoles and gives  users  the  ability to access and  share  Internet
resources  from any room in the house via a wireless or Ethernet connection.

The dLAN 200 AV HomePlug is also now TR 069 compatible, providing users with a high-speed  broadband  network connection at every power point in the house to support
full multimedia home networking.

As the market leader in in-house powerline  technology, devolo sees this decision as an  affirmation of its product policy. Heiko Harbers, CEO of devolo  says,  "We
expected the DSL Forum to reach this decision. TR 069 is of special relevance to large-scale  network  operators such as telcos and ISPs and for this reason, our current
HomePlug AV firmware already supports the TR 069 commands as  specified by the DSL Forum. This makes all devolo HomePlug AV devices compatible with TR 069."
