Why Powerline Communication?

In-home Powerline communications (PLC) technology uses the existing electrical wiring and sockets in a home or small business to connect PCs, broadband modems, set-top boxes, gaming consoles, audio/video players, flat screen displays, security cameras and other electronics devices. In effect, every socket becomes an Ethernet jack or network connection point - without adding any new wires! Consumers can instantly install their own home networks just by plugging their Powerline-enabled equipment into the wall

 Complement of Wireless

Although the wireless environment provides the freedom of mobile users to access Internet, the current technology still has certain limits, such as the dead zones, interference, range limits. The Powerline can be used to extend the range of wireless networks by adding WiFi access points in areas with dead spots or weak coverage or by allowing a single access point to be placed in the ideal location in the house that will permit whole-house WiFi coverage.

 Substitute to Wireless

Compared to wireless, Powerline technology is much easier to set up and use, and which provides better range and more reliable whole house coverage. In-home Powerline Communication is particularly useful for applications that need real time delivery of streaming audio and video or low-latency connectivity

 Alternative to New Wiring

Running new wiring to set-up a home network could be expensive and disruptive. With Powerline technology, the existing wiring in the house serves as the network, and turns every electrical outlet into an Ethernet port or other network connection point.
