ham radio operators are not used. The total HomePlug 1.0 bands are therefore equal
to de 84 − 8 = 76.
Table 8.2 summarizes the high rate frequency bands which can be used accord-
ing to each type of PLC technology.
Since the 1- to 30-MHz frequency band is divided into sub-bands, each sub-
band conveys the OFDM modulation carriers at the transmission channel level.
Therefore, and unlike Wi-Fi, there are no channels, strictly speaking, which could be
configured to build the network architecture. In PLCs, the entire frequency band is
used as the transmission channel; all sub-bands are used for improved transmission
robustness.
