Power Line Communications

Power Line Communications (PLC) is a technology that uses existing electrical power lines to transmit data. Instead of installing separate internet cables, PLC sends information over the same wires that deliver electricity. This method allows devices like smart appliances, meters, or internet modems to communicate and share data without additional wiring. It offers a convenient way to extend connectivity within homes or across neighborhoods, leveraging the widespread electrical infrastructure. PLC is useful for smart grid applications, home automation, and broadband internet access, making use of the existing power network to transmit signals efficiently and cost-effectively.
