Asoka has been the industry pioneer in PLC applications since its inception in We ve taken the definition of the connected home from simple broadband connectivity to high-speed digital services such as IPTV, streaming media and online gaming. Now we re opening up a whole new world for the PLCenabled home. Always on the cutting edge, we thought to ourselves, what if the simplicity of PLC for home networking could be extended to other applications that would broaden the digital living experience for subscribers and enhance revenue and customer satisfaction for service providers? We began collaborating with carriers and service providers throughout the world and we have now introduced the industry s first PLC-based home energy management service (HEMS) and the industry s first home monitoring service (HMS). This is only the beginning. We re already working on services for thermostat control, parental controls and e-health. The possibilities are endless thanks to the plug-and-play ease of deploying a PLC network, the advancement of cloud-based applications, and Asoka s development of breakthrough intelligent PLC hardware. Asoka is leading the way for Digital Living Made Simple, with our in- home architecture plus a high- speed PLC backbone and WiFi connectivity through our PLC devices. A PLC backbone is an easy way to connect your whole home. PLC adapters turn your existing electrical wiring into a high speed (up to 500 Mbps) network backbone. Connect your PCs, gaming devices, cable boxes or TVs via Ethernet wherever there s an outlet. Have WiFi already? Use your PLC backbone to reach dead spots or for high- bandwidth applications like video or gaming. As the architecture of the future, Asoka is bringing together PLC for TV, gaming, computing and more with Ethernet and WiFi for battery power. Join us in our exciting journey into the future of the connected home. Eric Grubel President and CEO

3 Today s home networks must be able to support a diverse set of applications ranging from simple file transfer to very high quality-of-service (QoS) applications such as VoIP and streaming media. Asoka is a pioneer in powerline communication (PLC) technology and has been providing carriers and service providers with high performance home area network (HAN) equipment since Unlike almost all other PLC and home networking vendors, Asoka designs, develops and engineers its own products. We don t outsource design work bceause we believe it results in lower quality and lower performing products. Pioneering Powerline Communications (PLC) Technology Asoka s residential and commercial networking product lines provide cost-effective, interoperable and HomePlug standards-based PLC networking without the need for expensive service provider installations. With PLC technology, the electric wires in homes and small business offices can be used instead of cabling to quickly and easily distribute broadband Internet data and entertainment services. Now, Asoka has pioneered new services that leverage its PLC technology to provision digital living services for the ultimate connected home. Asoka s breakthrough PlugLine PLC adapters create a secure, high-speed HAN, combined with an innovative cloud-based services application that communicates over the network to provide services for home energy management, home monitoring and parental controls. Asoka s SolarLink adapters enable residential solar system installers to send data over the Internet without expensive cable installations.
