2. Insteon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insteon

   Insteon is an integrated dual-mesh (formerly referred to as "dual-band") network that combines wireless radio frequency (RF) and a building's existing electrical wiring, [7] in which all devices are peers and each device independently transmits, receives, and repeats messages. [8] [9]

3. Broadband over power lines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_over_power_lines

   Broadband over power lines (BPL) is a method of power-line communication (PLC) that allows relatively high-speed digital data transmission over public electric power distribution wiring. BPL uses higher frequencies, a wider frequency range, and different technologies compared to other forms of power-line communications to provide high-rate ...

4. HomePlug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug

   In a simple home network, the Internet gateway router connects via Ethernet cable to a powerline adapter, which in turn plugs into a nearby power outlet. A second adapter, plugged into any other outlet in the home, connects via Ethernet cable to any Ethernet device (e.g., computer, printer, IP phone, gaming station). Communications between the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11s

   The 2012 release of the 802.11 specification (802.11-2012) [4] directly incorporates Mesh Routing functionality. A wireless mesh network architecture allowing otherwise out-of-range nodes 1–4 to still connect to the Internet. A key characteristic is the presence of multiple-hop links and using intermediate nodes to relay packets for others.

6. Power-line communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication

   Power line adapter. Power-line communication (PLC) is the carrying of data on a conductor that is also used simultaneously for AC electric power transmission or electric power distribution to consumers. The line that does so is known as a power-line carrier. In the past, power lines were solely used for transmitting electricity. However, with ...

7. Networking cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

   [1] There are several technologies used for network connections. Patch cables are used for short distances in offices and wiring closets. Electrical connections using twisted pair or coaxial cable are used within a building. Optical fiber cable is used for long distances or for applications requiring high bandwidth or electrical isolation.
