What sort of performances does PLC HomePlug give?
When considering HomePlug’s information transmission speeds, it is useful to compare it with ADSL. Just as ADSL uses a frequency range (25k-1, 1MHz) above vocal frequencies to carry Broadband Internet, it is the same with PLC Broadband which uses a frequency band below the traditional 50Hz and the CENELEC band (usually used for narrow band). Therefore it is possible to use Broadband to broadcast information over electrical wiring. The first official market specification standard is the HomePlug V1.0.1. The data flow that can be achieved by using HomePlug technology over the electrical network is around 14Mbps of raw data. The actual data flow available is generally around 6 to 7 Mbps shared dynamically between up to 16 different potential users.
