SOFTBANK BB, "Demonstration experiment on high-speed Internet communication with outlet" started

From today I will do it until October 31.

In short, the outlet will be supplying electricity as it is and the net will also become a line that can be done. The speed can be increased to the level of optical fiber. It might be good news for those who have not received the optical fiber yet.

Details are as follows.
Acquisition of permission to install experimental high-speed power line communication equipment
~ Starting demonstration experiment of leakage electric field reduction technology for "high-speed Internet communication with outlet"

High-speed net communication via this outlet is called PLC (Power Line Communication), a communication technology that uses power lines of homes and buildings as a communication line. It is merit that you can easily communicate with the Internet simply by connecting the communication equipment such as home appliances and personal computers to the outlet, there is no need to conduct new facility construction of the communication line, and it is possible to introduce the connection environment at low cost. Speed ​​is the same as optical fiber.

If this high-speed PLC is put into practical use, broadband networks can be constructed using power outlets in almost all rooms of common houses such as condominiums and detached houses.
