The PlugLAN 8950 Gateway from Asoka® is an advanced Powerline Communications gateway that transforms existing electrical wires in a commercial building into a high-performance data network, delivering broadband services at up to 85 Mbps. The PlugLAN 8950 Gateway allows resellers, integrators, and service providers to add value by delivering high-bandwidth services, including High-Speed Internet Access (HSIA) and Voice over IP (VoIP) to every electrical outlet within a hotel, office or multi-dwelling unit(MDU) without pulling new wiring or disrupting electrical service.

Using the PlugLAN 8950
To provide maximum power and flexibility, two deployment options are available– one for single-meter locations such as hotels or offices, and one for locations with multiple meters, like apartment buildings.

- Single-meter configuration–For hotels, offices, or other environments where all network users exist behind a single electrical meter, use the 8950 Gateway’s built-in direct injection capabilities to inject broadband services directly into a three-phase electrical environment.
- Multiple-meter configuration–Ideal for apartments or other MDU/MTUs where users exist behind separate electrical meters, this configuration uses Asoka’s innovative SmartClipTM Injection Kit (PL1300) for signal injection into the electrical wires. This kit uses a non-invasive connector that attaches near each individual meter to inject the Internet signal without disrupting electrical service or compromising wiring.

With the PlugLAN 8950
Built specifically for resellers and providers serving commercial and MDU/MTU markets, the 8960 Gateway provides flexible deployment options, easy management, and maximum scalability.

- Injects the broadband signal into a building’s existing electrical wiring
- Data injection into three electrical phases via capacitive coupling cables (3 feet in length)
- Secure, private networking for each customer through the use of VLANs and 56-bit DES -encryption
- QoS Support: Maps Ethernet QoS to Powerline QoS using VLAN priority
- Bandwidth management for service class differentiation
- Using BAM (Bandwidth Authentication Manager) provides authentication for associated PlugLAN SmartBridge devices within its network
- Flexible configuration options for single-meter buildings or multi-tenant units with separate meters
- PowerView management software for remote accessibility
