power line data communication to connect two computers through electric lines.
so that data can be transmitted and received through power lines via serial port.
so tell me how it can be done?
just tell me the detail.

tags: attenuation power line communication
i think power line data communication is just a possibility of transmitting data through power cables but not an achievement in itself coz it is too costly and it offers a very high attenuation . this makes it unsuitable way of communication in comparision to other forms of available means. but anyway if u need details about it u just search "power line communication" on google and u will get lot of ideas about it .it can also be searched in the site ku.edu.np . sorry for criticizing the idea.

Take a look at: "MAX2986 Integrated Powerline Digital Transceiver" in Maxim/Dallas > Products > Powerline Networking
http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/4034
At this moment Maxim offers KITs; try to order a couple of them and just try ..

Despite what has been posted above, Broadband Power Line (BPL or PLY in Europe) networking is a fact. On the east coast of the US, one company has already installed it and is selling to customers. There is a huge fight going on about the RF interference it causes.

For home use, there are several systems available from kits to working modules.
You shouldn't have any trouble locating what you want.

QuestionI am wondering if anyone got "MAX2986 Integrated Powerline Digital Transceiver" eval kit or otherwise and can comment on their experiences.
It certainly reads like a wish list of everything you need from the spec, but isn't it a bit expensive for a lamp control for example? given the chip packaging etc..
Is it not very optimistic about speeds possible over powerline, given how arbitrary of a transmission media it is Neutral
I actually can't find where their eval kit is available, maybe it no longer is?

The easy way use TDA5051 from NXP for low cost low bit rate PLC

other wiae use X10 for seting a lamp on and off
