ABSTRACT:
A powerline network system. An embodiment of the present invention provides a powerline network device. The device includes a first network interface connected to a data source, the first network interface being configured to receive network data in a first format. The device also includes a first powerline communication module configured to convert data from the first format to a second format. The device further includes a switch having an input port and N output ports, the input port being connected to the first powerline communication module. Also, the device includes a plurality of powerline communication modules, the plurality of power communication modules including a second powerline communication module and a third powerline communication module. Moreover, the device includes a first powerline coupler, the first powerline coupler being configured to couple a first data signal from the second powerline communication module to a first phase, a second phase, and a third phase of a powerline.
