Technology

Power Line Communication (PLC) is a technology allowing digital data transmission over existing power grids.

The principle consists in imposing a high frequency signal (1 to 30 MHz) on the electrical current.

The signal is then spread over the electrical grid and repeated along the way until its reception by a Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). The signal is extracted and low frequencies (current) are neutralized in order to isolate high frequencies (digital data).

The broadband Internet network and the local area network are connected to the powerline via a modem server. In the other end, the customer computer is connected to the powerline via a CPE.

As a result, each power outlet is a potential access point to the Powerline Communication network, now accessible to everyone, everywhere, anytime...
