What is PLC and why PLC?
What is PLC ?
PLC is an abbreviation for "Powerline Communication". You will also find the terms PLT ("Powerline Transmission") and BPL ("Broadband Powerline") having the same meaning.

The principle where Powerline Communication is built on, is "No additional wiring needed". In many cases, you are forced to buy and install quite some meters/feet of network cable to get let's say the PC to access the internet and to allow it to share files with the notebook. Powerline Communication puts an end to this. The power cables are there anyway, so why not use it for networking? Using this principle, it is possible to access the network and internet at any power socket in the building. Just like that.

Why PLC ?
Powerline Communications has overcome the limitations of cabling and wireless networking to deliver an affordable and reliable alternative for distributing digital signal. Here are five good reasons to use PLC solution:

Ease to install
- No new cabling means minimal disruption time for the business. Single installation - - point means quick implementation timescales
- Minimum dust creation in high risk damage environment

Return on investment
- There is a short amortisation period due to the low cost of installation
- The location can be moved from time to time

If my next doors can link to my network built by PLC?
