So just what is Broadband Powerline Networking?
Powerline Communication and Broadband Powerline BPL is a global community technology. The PLC broadband powerline signal uses the common electrical grid. Power lines can now carry the Internet digital signal to your home. Homes can now use the wiring in the walls to transmit the network and Internet signals throughout the homes numerous wall plugin sockets. Simply plug-in and you are connected. New broadband powerline Internet radios and televisions are entering the world market. New personal computers(PCs) are including the power line chipset for automatic network communications. One of the larger Powerline Alliances is HomePlug.
Are there products on the market now?
Absolutely. View many products here
