Power-line communication

Power-line communication (PLC) is a way for devices in your home to send information using electricity. Instead of using wi-fi or other wireless technologies, PLC uses the electricity lines that are already installed in your walls, floors, and ceilings to send the data. To use PLC, a special device called a power-line adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet. This adapter sends a signal through the electric lines, and the signal can be used to send data like internet, audio, and video. The adapter also has a special receiver that picks up the data signal and sends it to its intended destination. PLC is a great way to send data in your home because it doesn't require any extra wiring in your walls, and it's fast and reliable.
