Current Technologies has developed a repeater-amplifier product at the level of
the physical layer that is used for reamplifying the PLC signal over the MV and LV
lines without losing the bandwidth, like in the case of PLC repeaters operating on
the MAC layer.
Current Technologies proposes to use the Internet access via PLC with the fol-
lowing configuration, for example:
•
Bedroom: IP camera with IP flow from one room to another one;
•
Living room: streaming video of an MPEG 4 flow (Windows Media 9 −
1.5Mbits/s encoder) from a video server;
•
Office: PC + IP printer + Switch + Customer PLC devices.
