The only authorized book explaining the HomePlug networking
standards
HomePlug is a growing technology for creating high-speed Power
Line Communication (PLC) networks by transmitting data over in-home
or in-office power lines. Users only need to plug adapters into
wall outlets to create an instant network of computers, printers,
routers, home entertainment devices, and appliance control
systems.
HomePlug AV and IEEE 1901: A Handbook for PLC Designers and
Users provides for the first time an opportunity for non-members of
the HomePlug Alliance to gain in-depth insight into the design and
operation of the HomePlug standards. Offering a clear and simple
description of the standards, this groundbreaking resource presents
HomePlug AV and the associated IEEE 1901 standards in terms more
readily understood by a much wider audience, including nontechnical
managers, engineers, students, and HomePlug designers.
The book details the many benefits of HomePlug AV,
including:
* An affordable, secure alternative or complement to
WiFi--especially in buildings where WiFi reception is poor or
running new network wires is impractical
* Higher potential data transmission rates up to 200 Mbps
* Support for multimedia applications such as HDTV and VoIP
The book also provides an overview of the HomePlug Green PHY
standard that is targeted for use in smart energy applications, and
the HomePlug AV 2.0 standard that operates at up to 1.5 Gbps.
An essential tool for designers of HomePlug devices, network
administrators, and individual users of HomePlug networks who need
to understand the features and capabilities of HomePlug, HomePlug
AV and IEEE 1901: A Handbook for PLC Designers and Users will also
prove useful for researchers in academia and the power line
communications industry.
