Understanding Broadband Over Power Line
Understanding Broadband over Power Line explores all aspects of the emerging technology that enables electric utilitiesto provide support for high-speed data communications via their power infrastucture. This book examines the two methods used to connect consummers and business to the internet through the utility infrastructure the existing electrical wiring of a home or officer; and a wirelss local area network (WLAN) access point.rnWritten in a practical style that can be understood by network engineers and nontechnologists alike, this volume offers tutorial s on electric utility infrastructure and home wiring, to ensure that all readers have a common base of knowledge. It reviews power line operations, analyzing how electricity is generated and delivered to consumers, and how the writing inside buildings forms individual circuits. An appreciation for how technologies work allows for an understanding of how broadband over power line has the potential to provide ubiquitous communications that offer home users, network managers, and LAN administrators with another solution to meet their high-speednetworking requirements.rnFeatures:rn• Provides an overview of the concepts and technology behind broadband over power line (BPL), as well as a comparison of BPL versus competitive internet access methodsrn• Discusses the basics of power line operations, including current, measurement, transformers, service methods, and service panelsrn• Analyzes BPL system architecture, transmission methods, modulation techniques, and network accessrn• Reviews the pros and cons of power line transmission, interference with certain radio frequencies, opposition to BPL, and the resulting FCC regulatory effortrn• Examines the HomePlug standard, exploring specifications, power line adapters, HomePlug AV, and IEEE Wireless LANsrn• Investigates the offerings of various equipment vendors, and highlights the results of real world field trialsrn• Details IEEE standards, several organizing bodies, and the future of BPLrn
