Market research carried out by In-Stat shows devolo as global market leader in powerline technology

03 February 2009 – Powerline specialist devolo has been confirmed as the global market leader in HomePlug products, according to market research conducted by In-Stat into the digital communications market.

The US market research specialist’s report entitled ‘Global Powerline Home Networking Update’ indicated that the market has grown over 50 percent in the past 12 months and foresees further strong growth in business with service providers.

“We are very pleased that our dedication to develop innovative HomePlug solutions has again contributed to our securing global market leadership,” stated the CEO of devolo AG, Heiko Harbers. “We are well equipped to continue our expansion into the powerline market in 2009.”

devolo’s HomePlug adaptors offer users a high-speed broadband network connection at every power point in the house, and Ethernet connectivity enables PCs, broadband modems and routers, games consoles and set-top boxes to be quickly connected to the network.

The adaptors support high-definition video streaming and triple play services and feature an easy password encryption button to ensure maximum levels of data security for home network users. Wireless functionality also enables a WLAN connection from any power circuit, ideal for using laptops and other wireless devices, making the adaptors ideal for multi-storey houses with thick walls or loft conversions.

devolo’s patented intelligent PowerSave technology reduces the energy consumption of HomePlug adaptors by 30%, helping to lower household energy consumption and reduce emissions, as part of devolo’s Follow Green green IT programme (www.devolo-green-it.com).
