PLC (Power Line Communication) is a communication technology which enables the information to be carried over any wiring through out buildings, factories, homes, and cities.
HD-PLC™ (hereinafter referred to as “HD-PLC”) is an abbreviation for High Definition Power line Communication, originally a high-speed power line communication technology using Wavelet OFDM modulation / demodulation, but can also be used with other metal wires such as coaxial wire and twisted-pair wire. HD-PLC or HD-PLC mark is a registered trademark or trademark of Panasonic Corporation in Japan and in other countries. Learn more…
- Higher speed than narrowband PLC
- Longer range than other broadband PLC technologies
- Lower power consumption
HD-PLC establishes the high-speed LAN by using existing power-lines and wall-outlets. Without wiring LAN cables and with ease of setting up network security , you can enjoy easy and secured network.
Flexible deep notch and low sidelobe by using wavelet OFDM modulation.
Wireless LAN is said to have following cumbersome features; – Radio wave hardly propagates through reinforced-concrete and metal materials used for housing structure (ex. sound proof floor made of material/concrete which insulates floor vibration and sound. Sound-proof wall and heat insulator and plural number of doors are said to have radio-wave insulating function). Encryption setting is crucial for wireless communication to avoid tapping. To improve the user experience, PLC adaptor can be conveniently used for a situation where radio wave can hardly propagate and usable even without going through complicated encryption setting processes.
