What applications can be provided through PLC?
A very wide range of narrowband (some kbps) and broadband (up to tens or even hundreds of Mbps) applications can be provided through access and in-home PLC solutions, for the benefit of end consumers and of power utilities (to increase their performances and improve their service quality). Narrowband applications include home control, home automation, automatic meter reading (AMR), remote surveillance and control of home appliances, etc. Broadband applications include (for access PLC) Internet access, telephony (VoIP), TV and (for in-home PLC) Internet access sharing, computer resource sharing and AV whole-house distribution.
