Power line communication or power line carrier (PLC), also known as Power line Digital Subscriber Line (PDSL), mains communication, power line telecom (PLT), power line networking (PLN), or Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) are systems for carrying data on a conductor also used for electric power transmission. Electrical power is transmitted over high voltage transmission lines, distributed over medium voltage, and used inside buildings at lower voltages. Powerline communications can be applied at each stage. Most PLC technologies limit themselves to one set of wires (for example, premises wiring), but some can cross between two levels (for example, both the distribution network and premises wiring). Typically the transformer prevents propagating the signal, which requires multiple PLC technologies to be used to form very large networks. This book is your ultimate resource for Broadband Over Power Lines. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Broadband Over Power Lines right away, covering: Power line communication, Internet access, Absolute reach, List of broadband over power line deployments, Broadband.gov, Cable Internet access, Cable modem, Cable modem termination system, Com21, Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, Data discrimination, Defense Data Network, Dial-up Internet access, Dialup Users List, EZproxy, Flat rate, FRIACO, Get online week, Global Access Point, Hosted service provider, HSTR LAN, Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006, Internet in Singapore, LightSquared, List of cable Internet providers, National Broadband Plan (United States), National broadband plans from around the world, Network neutrality, Platform for Internet Content Selection, PLC carrier repeating station, Policies promoting wireless broadband, Rural Internet, Satellite Internet access, Search neutrality, Series of tubes, Integrated Broadband Services, Sublink Network, Tiered Internet, Wireless broadband, Wireless@SG, Wizzy Digital Courier, Computer network, Wikipedia: WikiProject Outlines/Drafts/Outline of computer networking, Portal: Computer networking, ACSI-CORBA mapping, Adaptive switching, Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture, HPM.1, AF INET, AiCache, Airborne Networking, Analogix, Application Session Controller, Apt-file, AKARI Project, Associative browsing, Banner grabbing, Bots (edi), Bridge mode, Broadcast traffic, Byte stream, Cablefree, Capillary routing, CGA (Advanced Management Centre), Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician, Cisco's 3 Layered Model, Class-based queueing, Closed system (control theory), Cloud-based networking, Cognitive Plane, Collapsed backbone, Collision avoidance (networking), Computer appliance, Computer network diagram, Computer Networks and Internet Technology, Network computing, Connection-oriented communication, Consolidated Tape Association, Consolidation ratio, Content-addressable memory, Content-centric networking, Convergence (routing), Core area network, Cut-through switching, DAG Technology, Data cable, Datakit, Datasource, Decode-Encode Language, Defense Information Systems Network, Dependability Benchmarking, Directory System Agent, Distributed network block device, Dynamic bandwidth allocation, Dynamic circuit network, Dynamic Provisioning Environment, E-mail art, Eirpac, Electronic Data Interchange, Electronic Reference Library, End Node Problem, Entrance facility, Error code, Etherloop, Ethernet over USB, Fabric computing, Failover...and much more This book explains in-depth the real drivers and workings of Broadband Over Power Lines.
