Introduction to Power-Line Communication
In the previous chapters we discussed multiple technologies that work as possible solutions to solve the first mile access problems—that of providing bandwidth (preferably on demand) to the end users and alleviating the access bottleneck in the first mile. Multiple solutions have been proposed using different technologies such as optical (passive optical networking [PON]), wireless (WiFi), wireless MANs (WMANs), digital subscriber line (DSL), and free space optics (FSO). Most of these solutions have been structured around a communication technology built on an equipment requirement that is fundamentally unique and diverse from the rest of the technology concepts that directly affect consumers who are the ...
