PLT SUMMARY
 |
Chairman: Victor Dominguez The project will progress the necessary standards and
specifications to cover the provision of voice and data services over the mains
power transmission and distribution network and/or in-building electricity
wiring.
The standards will be developed in sufficient detail to allow
interoperability between equipment from different manufacturers and co-existence
of multiple powerline systems within the same environment. Harmonized Standards
will be developed to allow presumption of conformity with the relevant EU/EC
Directives. |
In particular, the Project will take into account:
- Phased development of standards in a timely fashion in support of phased
roll out of powerline systems.
- Technical requirements to avoid interference with users of the radio
spectrum (this will be subcontracted to TC ERM).
Coordination has been done with other standard making bodies, and in
particular CENELEC. ERC will also be consulted, with the help of ETSI TC
ERM WG RM. This is defined in detail in the TC PLT
Terms of Reference.
The Terms of Reference have been fully endorsed by ETSI Board #24.
