Around thousand homes in Liverpool City will receive broadband speeds of up to 200Mbps via electric power cables.
The innovative broadband technology ‘powerline communications’ (PLC) will enable the consumers to get electricity as well as high speed internet access using the existing electric power network.
The Project SmartGrid will soon launch the trial in the new build homes of Plus Dane Homes where smart meters that display the consumer’s electricity and gas usage details, will also be installed.
Powerline technology has both plus and minus. Although power network is capable of delivering superfast broadband to remote areas, the new technology requires huge investments to build infrastructure and provide services.
