Power Line Communication throughput analysis for use in last mile rural broadband

Goran Horvat, Zoran Balkić, Drago Žagar · 2012

Summary. Power Line Communication (PLC) offers a cost-effective approach to rural broadband by reusing existing electrical infrastructure. Laboratory tests comparing two PLC technologies show PLC can function as a last-mile solution, achieving adequate throughput for LAN replacement. However, the shared medium creates performance issues: UDP packet loss and increased TCP delays occur when multiple clients access the network simultaneously.
