Record 6 2007-04-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Electrical Networks
CONT

Broadband over power line, or BPL (currently being offered in pilot programs by a dozen or so utilities around the country), promises to deliver high-speed Internet access straight from the electrical socket in your wall.

  • broadland over powerline
  • power line communications

French

Domaine(s)
  • Internet et télématique
  • Réseaux électriques
DEF

Technologie de réseau via les classiques prises de courant.

OBS

Le principe est simple : puisque des fils électriques passent un peu partout dans la maison ou dans les bureaux, pourquoi ne pas s'en servir pour transporter autre chose que de l'énergie électrique? La technologie à courant porteur est déjà mise à profit pour transmettre des informations pour la gestion du réseau électrique ou, dans certains pays, comme support téléphonique. Évolution logique, elle permet désormais d'utiliser le réseau électrique pour le transformer en réseau informatique. Ainsi, chaque prise de courant donne un accès immédiat au serveur ou aux autres ordinateurs connectés par ce moyen.
