3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of IoT PLC Communication Module?

The advantages (characteristics) are mainly following four points.

・Long Distance: The multi-hop function can transmit up to about 2Km.

・Available for any wires: In addition to power lines, it can also be used for coaxial, leased lines, telephone lines, etc.

・High Speed: The physical speed is 250 Mbps and the effective speed is about 150 Mbps.

・Security: In addition to AES encryption, because it estimates the state of the transmission line and communicates
　with it, the eavesdropping is not possible.

The disadvantage is that the communication performance varies depending on the power distribution board, noise equipment, wiring topology, wire rods, etc.
