IEEE 1901
IEEE 1901 is a standard for data communication over power lines, so-called Broadband Powerline (BPL).
The full name is "1901-2010 - IEEE Standard for Broadband over Power Line Networks: Medium Access Control and Physical Layer Specifications". IEEE 1901 was passed in December 2010 by the IEEE working group "BPLPHMAC - Broadband Over Power Lines PHY / MAC Working Group", in which over 90 companies participated.
IEEE 1901-2010 defines the maximum speed (500 Mbit / s gross, i.e. on the medium), in which frequency range (up to a maximum of 100 MHz) and with which transmission method data should flow over the power line, both inside (indoor) and outside of buildings (outdoor). Within buildings, up to 100 meters of power lines should be possible, while distances of up to 1500 meters can be bridged outdoors.
