Sharp lifts PLC as best option for home wiring
PLC or Powerline Communications is what Sharp believes is the easiest way to network your home. This comes in comparison to what we saw from NETGEAR this morning, a wireless over the air network. Sharps PLC relies on the electric wires already in your house to transmit data.
It works like this, you plug in the TV to the adapter, then the adapter into the wall. This connection offers fast data transfer at speeds of up to 85 Mbps.Sharp uses government-adopted AES 128 bit encryption for security.
“As the home becomes more connected, there is a pressing need for simplified and secure ways to build a reliable network,” said Bob Scaglione, senior vice president and group manager, Product and Marketing Group, Sharp. “Using the most pervasive home wiring medium – power outlets – Sharp’s PLC adapters provide consumers with the best and safest solution for high-quality content distribution.”
The units are sold as a one port solution, a four port adapters and a bundle kit that includes the previous two for convenience. Pricing is $149 for the single, $179 for the 4 port adapters and $279 for the bundle.
