Avaliação da técnica PLC HomePlug para comunicação de dados pela rede elétrica e aplicação no cenário de Internet das coisas (IoT)

Abstract

The technology called data communication comes in great growing in the world. There is a wide variety of types of data communication, from wired communication to wireless communication. Because wireless communication has limitations in relation to cabling, cable communication currently dominates the market. Clearly, the number of cables produced and installed in the world is large. Relating the environment to such production, it can be observed that a degradation of it can occur. The power grid also uses cables for its distribution around the country. Together, TP-LINK's TL-PA411 Modem is able to perform communications using the cables already installed in the electrical network. With this in mind, several tests were carried out to test the feasibility of using the modem in residential and industrial environments. The modem was tested at different distances and data flows in the computer network, as well as with a motor causing noise in the electrical network. In addition, the application of things on the Internet was also mentioned.
