Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 258 / 356<br />

Power Line (DPL) worked with a 180-240V power supply and reportedly provided data<br />

transmission rates of up to 10Mb/s. The technology required a special modem to link<br />

computers to the Internet, to each other or to other electrical devices such as household<br />

appliances. FEPTRI claimed its technology was faster and more reliable than similar<br />

technologies developed in other countries.<br />

In South Korea, a somewhat unique situation existed as Kepco (Korea Electric Power<br />

Company), the country’s major utility, had been leading the PLC development. As early as<br />

2000, Kepco presented its development partners for both the access and home market.<br />

Kepco’s vision was to use its electrical infrastructure and the PLC technology for its<br />

customer base of 15,920,000 households. Applications envisioned were AMR, DAS<br />

(Distribution Automation System), DSLM (Demand Side Load Management), two-way<br />

communication channel between customer and the company and a Value Added Internet<br />

Access.<br />

Hardware Options<br />

Already by the end of 2002, Kepco had tested various speed modems from Xeline Telecom<br />

(10 MB/s), Planet (9.6 Kbps), Intellon (14MB/s), ANI (100 Kbps), Echelon (5.6 KB/s) and<br />

Domosys (9.6 KB/s).
