Overview - Power Line Communication (Plc) - Billion BiPAC 2071 White Paper

1. Overview – Power Line Communication (PLC)
,
In recent years Power Line Communication has emerged as a new generation of networking and it has
become increasingly popular among residential and small sized office settings. The use of twisted pair cable
or optic fiber as transmission media in Ethernet not only costs a fortune in setting up a complicated cabling
system, it may also cause some renovation issue. In addition, the use of wireless networking in data
transmission has certain restrictions that may reduce the quality of multimedia content.
Power line networking however uses the existing electrical wiring system of a home or an office to transfer
digital data. This technology can therefore solve the problems mentioned earlier. With the improving
technology of power line networking, apart from transmitting the traditional data signal, we have expanded its
capacity to deliver high quality digital multimedia content, such as music and video.
The manufacturer will either provide 3C products that support PLC power line networking or through
high-speed transmission and multimedia communication protocol to integrate Wireless / HomePNA / DLNA.
