- PLC stands for Power Line Communication, which is a communication solution that enables the upgrade of existing MV & LV power grids to become a communication pipe with speeds reaching up to 200Mbps per second using the transmission frequency 1MHz – 34MHz (inside) .

- PLC solution provides broadband Internet/Intranet (LAN) access through ordinary power lines. A computer (or any other device) would only need to have a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment or "modem") plugged into any power outlet in an equipped building to have high-speed Internet/Intranet (LAN) access.
- Electric utilities are looking at PLC/BPL as a way of entering the Communications Business Arena to provide an alternative "last mile solution" for their customers. Electric utilities are interested in PLC/BPL because it can give them an intelligent electric distribution grid. This could result in lower electric power costs, and greater reliability and security. Networking every electric device together over the power lines may also result in a similar growth in productivity and convenience for the home and office.
