The Powerline Adapter option has the ability to expand Wi-Fi signals to areas with low reception. These newly introduced Powerline Adapters have the ability to pick up signals from the existing router, amplify and retransmit to the desired area using the existing internal electrical wiring as a new connectivity medium for broadband services in Sri Lanka. Internet of Things (IoT) technology-enabled devices can be set up anywhere in the home/office via any home/office 
Wi-Fi network.
SLT Broadband Extenders use AV HomePlug Powerline technology to turn every power socket in your home into a potential Internet port. Ideal for wireless Internet and video streaming, they all work straight out of the box, so you can quickly connect to a Smart TV, cover a Wi-Fi weak spot, get online in the garden or game online wherever you want within the premises. 


“As a means for consumers to experience SmartHome features by extending their Internet connections around their homes, Powerline Adapters have been extremely popular around the world due to their reliability and simplicity. As an option, Powerline Adapter Extenders, are undoubtedly one of the easiest and most effective ways to connect devices around the digital home,” stated SLT Chief Marketing Officer
