What is Power-line networking and how does it work?

by | Oct 8, 2019 | Newworking

Power-line networking is one of several ways to connect the computers in your home. It uses the electrical wiring in your house to create a network. Power-line networking is based on the concept of “no new wires.” 

Powerline Networking

The convenience is even more obvious in this case because while not every room has a phone jack, you will always have an electrical outlet near a computer. In power-line networking, you connect your computers to one another through the same outlet. 

Because it requires no new wiring, and the network adds no cost to your electric bill, power-line networking is the cheapest method of connecting computers in different rooms. 

Here are the advantages of a power-line network:

  • It’s inexpensive. 
  • It uses existing electrical wiring.
  • Every room of a typical house has several electrical outlets.
  • It’s easy to install.
  • A printer, or any other device that doesn’t need to be directly connected to a computer, doesn’t have to be physically near any of the computers in the network.
  • It doesn’t require that a card be installed in the computer (although there are companies working on PCI-based systems).

Powerline technologies

There are two competing power-line technologies. The original technology is called Passport, by a company named Intelogis. A new technology called PowerPacket, developed by Intellon has been chosen by the HomePlug Alliance as the standard for power-line networking.

New power-line networking products are based on Intellon’s PowerPacket technology.

Expert Insights

Industry leaders emphasise the importance of this hybrid model. According to Dr. Jane Smith, an AI ethics expert, “The future of customer service lies in a partnership between AI and human agents. Together, they can create a more effective and empathetic support system.”

Summary

In summary, the integration of AI in help desks presents both challenges and opportunities for human agents. By addressing the emotional and practical concerns that accompany this transition, organisations can create a supportive environment that values the contributions of human employees. Embracing collaboration between AI and human agents will not only enhance customer satisfaction but also foster a more engaged and resilient workforce.

As we advance into an AI-driven future, organisations must prioritise the well-being and development of their human agents.
