<p>A power line communications system comprises a power line (120) for distributing electricity to a plurality of premises (S1, S2...) and communication stations (TRX) coupled to the power line at the premises. Data is transmitted to/from stations over the power line using a packet data communications protocol. Apparatus at premises can convert signals between a first protocol, used on the power line, and a second protocol e.g. Ethernet for transferring data to a communications station.</p> |
