OREANDA-NEWS. On 21 July 2008 was announced, that customers of Lattelecom are offered a new connection solution for digital television and internet that will enable establishing these services without an additional cable connection by using the electricity supply network in the house or the apartment instead. In order to fulfill this, the customers will have to purchase Pirelli DEX P200U network adapter.

The tests performed by Lattelecom specialists testify that the Pirelli device is specifically fit to transfer Lattelecom TV signal, which could be established by means of an additional cable connection before that and which often caused difficulties for Lattelecom TV customers.

It will make our service more convenient. In dwellings the TV set, which broadcasts Lattelecom TV, and the computer used in order to access internet are often situated in different premises, therefore this solution will allow to avoid the necessity to place additional wires leading from one room to another by using already existing electrical power network instead,” indicates Kerli Gabrilovica, the Director of Lattelecom Customer Service and Retail Trade Department.

The set of the Pirelli device with two adapters will cost Ls 49,98. It will be available in Lattelecom shops in Riga and Valmiera.
