Power Line Communication (PLC)

Power-line communication (PLC) carries data on a conductor that is also used simultaneously
for AC electric power transmission or electric power distribution to consumers.
It is also known as power-line carrier, power-line digital subscriber line (PDSL), mains communication,
power-line telecommunications, or power-line networking (PLN).
A wide range of power-line communication technologies are needed for different applications, ranging
from home automation to Internet access which is often called broadband over power lines (BPL).

HomePlug

HomePlug is the family name for various power line communications specifications under the HomePlug moniker, with
each offering unique performance capabilities and coexistence or compatibility with other HomePlug specifications.
Some HomePlug specifications target broadband applications such as in-home distribution of low data rate IPTV,
gaming, and Internet content, while others focus on low-power, low throughput, and extended operating temperatures
for applications such as smart power meters and in-home communications between electric systems and appliances.
All of the HomePlug specifications were developed by the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, which also owns the HomePlug™.
