(802.11 X) products. Recently, however, another technology called HomePlug has come forth. It
uses electrical grids, already available inside walls to transmit data from computer to computer.
HomePlug technology modulates computer data in a way to enable them use power grid as a
medium of transmission from point to point. Using this technology, two computers have a virtual
Ethernet connection without the need to be physically connected to each other.
