All services are delivered through the Portus DIAS, an open platform that is installed in each premise. This highly-integrated device provides total home connectivity and a platform for the delivery of multiple services, without the need for separate systems. Integrating an Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) broadband interface, the DIAS also provides three essential networks for the modern home and/or home office: 802.11b wireless LAN, Bluetooth (Class 1) and powerline communication. It also acts as the security and surveillance system, the home control and automation system, and the utility monitoring gateway. The complete connected home configuration consists of the DIAS advanced services gateway, a wireless web pad, web cameras, powerline communication technology, lighting and appliance control modules, Bluetooth utility metering modules and standard security and safety sensors.
