1Preface
Get fibre-optic Internet into your home living
room using a coaxial or telephone line!
The devolo Giga Bridge gives you a fibre-optic In-
ternet connection quickly and without any incon-
venient routing of new network cables to your
living room. Bridge the distance from the active or
passive NT (Network Termination)/ONT (Optical
Network Termination) to the router quickly and
easily using an existing coaxial (SAT/TV) or tele-
phone line that is no longer in use. The
devolo Giga Bridge uses this wiring to build a high-
speed point-to-point connection with a PHY rate
of up to 2 Gbps, allowing the full potential of the fi-
bre-optic connection to be used without the bur-
den of installing new cables. The PHY rate refers to
the speed of the physical layer. This is the maxi-
mum possible speed at which data can be trans-
mitted.

1.2 Intended use
Use devolo devices, devolo software and the pro-
vided accessories as described to prevent damage
and injury.
Products
devolo devices are communication devices de-
signed for indoors.* Depending on the product,
they are equipped with a PLC - (PowerLine Com-
munication) and/or a Wi-Fi module and/or a
broadband module. The devices communicate
with each other by means of, depending on the
product, PLC, data and telephone line (e.g. coaxial
or twisted pair) and/or Wi-Fi.
The devolo Giga Bridge is only intended to be used
on cleared—exclusively available—telephone or
coaxial cables. Free line availability without third-
party devices must be determined before connect-
ing the devolo Giga Bridge.
No liability is assumed for any damage to third-
party devices.
The devolo Giga Bridge is only suitable to be used
with telephone and coaxial lines inside buildings.
The use of telephone and coaxial lines outside of
buildings may negatively affect conformity and
cause the warranty claims to become void.
devolo devices do not replace the existing router.
They enable transmission of the existing Internet/
data signal over the in-house wiring and via Wi-Fi
and integrate Internet-compatible terminal devic-
es into the home network.
Under no circumstances may devolo devices be
used outdoors, because large temperature fluctua-
tions and moisture can damage both the device
and the power line*. devolo devices may not be in-
stalled at a height above two metres unless an ad-
ditional fastening mechanism is available. The
products are intended for operation in the EU,
Switzerland and Norway.
* This does not include devolo outdoor devices, which are suit-
able for outdoor applications based on their IP classification.
Software
devolo devices can be used only with the free,
downloadable programs approved and available
on devolo AG's website (www.devolo.global) and
in app stores (iOS and Google Play). Any modifica-
tions to the product-specific firmware or software
could damage the products and, in the worst-case
scenario, render them unusable, negatively affect
conformity and cause the warranty claims to be-
come void.

11 Introduction
devolo Giga Bridge
2 Introduction
2.1 Connection problems
For many fibre-optic providers, the connection
ends at the subscriber delivery point, which is the
termination point of the provider's Internet access.
This is often located in a basement, service en-
trance room or garage. From this point, the fibre-
optic connection is available for the NT/ONT.
Once the fibre-optic connection has been success-
fully connected to the subscriber delivery point,
the next step is to find the optimal place for the ac-
tive NT/ONT and router. Often the NT/ONT is
placed right next to the subscriber delivery point,
so the two devices can be easily connected to each
other. It is significantly more difficult to make the
following connection between the NT/ONT and
router, because it often requires recabling. After
all, the new high-speed Internet is supposed to
reach the terminal devices (e.g. smartphone, tab-
let, smart TV, laptop and game console) at full
speed. This is why most households have the rout-
er located in either the living room or a hallway.
Connecting the NT/ONT and router
The NT/ONT and router are connected exclusively
by network cables with an RJ45 connector; often
large distances need to be bridged for this pur-
pose. So, when providing cabling, customers have
to pay attention to the technical conditions of the
available network cables. Depending on the dis-
tance that needs to be covered from the NT/ONT
to the router or a corresponding terminal device,
there are a few pitfalls. Fixed network cables,
which lead to mains sockets, for example, are al-
lowed to have a maximum distance of 100 metres.
If the distance is expanded beyond that, it is not
compliant with Ethernet connection standards and
will lead to high attenuation of the cable as well as
latency (delay from the transmitter to receiver),
which has a significant effect on the data transmis-
sion and cancels out the advantage of gigabit In-
ternet. If it is still necessary to cover long distances
in the house, then customers have to use interme-
diate repeaters. Here, however, it must be ob-
served that, depending on the circuit, five to ten
metres have to be subtracted from the maximum
cable length. So having clean, optimal cabling for a
new fibre-optic connection is not exactly trivial and
requires good preparation.

Introduction 12
devolo Giga Bridge
2.2 The solution:
devolo Giga Bridge
The problems mentioned here mean additional ef-
fort and costs, but the devolo Giga Bridge provides
a solution. It uses the G.hn standard to bridge the
gap between the NT/ONT and router or terminal
device by using the home's existing coaxial line
(SAT/TV) or telephone line.
The devolo Giga Bridge can also be used to expand
the internal home network in order to connect de-
vices with an Ethernet port, e.g. computers, note-
books, televisions, game consoles, etc., to the
Internet.
This also achieves the best performance and stabil-
ity in places where network lines are not possible
or not wanted, and/or where Wi-Fi frequently
drops out due to ceilings and walls.
And the best part is that the devolo Giga Bridge is
connected easily by plug and play.
G.hn technology explained
The devolo Giga Bridge uses G.hn technology for
the transmission of the Internet signal over coaxial
(TV/SAT) or telephone lines. G.hn was developed
by the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) with ongoing development provided primar-
ily by the HomeGrid Forum industry association.
2.3 Possible applications of the
devolo Giga Bridge
Difference between SISO and MIMO mode
bSISO: Single Input Single Output:
a Telephone line: Two telephone lines are
used here. The speed between the ONT and
router can reach up to 1 Gbps and the
range can be up to 100 metres.
a Coaxial line: Coaxial cables have very high
amount of insulation and high RF perfor-
mance (radio frequency). The speed
between the ONT and router can reach up
to 1 Gbps and the range can be several hun-
dreds of metres.
SISO mode is set to 200 MHz.

13 Introduction
devolo Giga Bridge
bMIMO: Multiple Input Multiple Output:
a Telephone line: Here, all four telephone
lines are used as pairs. The speed between
the router and another LAN device with an
Ethernet port can reach up to 1 Gbps and
the range can be more than 100 metres.
Expansion of the Ethernet WAN connection
using a telephone line
In this scenario, the G.hn signal is transmitted over
two or four telephone lines between the ONT and
router at a data rate of up to 1 Gbps. In the case of
two telephone lines, SISO mode is used. In MIMO
mode, all four lines are used as two pairs. MIMO
mode is recommended only for large distances ex-
ceeding 100 metres. For shorter distances, MIMO
transmission does not provide any higher data
rates.
Expansion of the Ethernet WAN connection
using a coaxial line
In this scenario, the G.hn signal is transmitted over
a standard coaxial cable between the ONT and the
router at a data rate of up to 1Gbps. Only SISO
mode can be used. Due to the high RF perfor-
mance of coaxial cables and the very high amount
of insulation, long distances of several hundred
metres can be bridged at data rates of up to 1 Gbps

Due to the high RF performance of coaxial cables
and the very high amount of insulation, long dis-
tances of several hundred metres can be bridged at
data rates of up to 1 Gbps.

bSpeed and stability – thanks to a consistent
transmission speed with up to one Gigabit/s
and over distances of up to 500 metres, the
