Abstract :
The concept of using the power line in conjunction with the broadband integrated services network (BISDN) for a range of value added service is proposed. The use of the power line in the low voltage distribution network, as a local loop in communications for a range of customer services in the residential and industrial area is detailed. The integration of this local loop residential service into a BISDN network provides the potential for integrating many thousand of homes into a wide area network (WAN) architecture. The potential characteristics of this type of communication architecture are established for efficient transport of data services
