About the ‘PLC’
Power Line Communication (PLC) is a technology that uses power lines to both supply electric power and as well as to transmit data.
PLC module uses the existing power line as a physical media for communication. PLC can offer a “no new wires” solution because the infrastructure has already been established. Here, the existing alternating current (AC) power wires serve as a transmission medium by which information is relayed from a transmitter or control station to one or more receivers or loads connected downstream from an AC source.
