BROADBAND OVER LOW VOLTAGE POWER LINES COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A power line communications (PLC) system and method for providing broadband communications over a low voltage power line are disclosed. The system and method comprise a manager that controls access to a bridge for a client where the bridge communicates with the manager to provide the client Internet access. The bridge modulates Ethernet communications from the Internet access to the low voltage power line to provide the modulated Ethernet communications to the client and the client demodulates modulated Ethernet communications from the low voltage power line to yield Ethernet communications.
