Resumo: | ||||||||
The PLC, Power Line Communication, is an innovative technology that is
being used to transmit voice and data over power line. This technology is in
testing phase in most countries and its maturity in the market is predicted from the
year 2016 according to experts and researchers in the area. As a new product
being launched, it is not possible to measure the extent it will have on the market,
i.e. the future market share of broadband internet. The proposed technology is
becoming an alternative choice of broadband to consumers in competition with
existing services via cable and wireless network. The energy companies have the
advantage of having already the infrastructure ready to implement the PLC, but
some adjustments will be required in the grid. The spread of the PLC market
depends not only on the advancement of technology but also in the restructuring
of the Brazilian electric sector. Another technology barrier are the various existing
standards because there are no universal regulations, which can make the
importation of equipment a difficult task, for example. Today in Brazil, energy
and telecommunications companies are studying ways to implement the PLC
technology in order to build a business model that is viable and profitable for
them.
