The Portal PRC put a matter in the least enthusiastic internet broadband network electric and the comments that there may blow it and 20MB Internet pros muiiiita thing our current standards.

"

The PLC - which stands for "power line communication", or "communication grid '- which will be used in Santo Antônio da Platina, is already exploited on a commercial scale in 20 countries. The Copel was the first in Brazil to test it, even in 2001, with 50 households in Curitiba. Experience has shown that, although feasible, the technology had to be improved. "The equipment we use at the time did not prevent a large power line interference on the transmission of data and images. But technology has evolved considerably since then and the new equipment now eliminates this interference, "says the CEO of Copel , Ghilardi Rubens. "The tests will last from six months to a year. If successful, since we will be able to sell the service. "

The speed of the web is at least 20 megabits per second (Mbps), the most twice the conventional services. Copel will test a connection even faster than 100 Mbps. But Ghilardi admits to pay for internet power line will compensate only for those who stay connected for several hours a day. "

Besides the internet as dis Portal PRC "ExtraLarga" COPEL also wants to enter the fixed telephony market (if they come with all this power in chipped purchases today voip telecom company) and the deadline to 2010 or next year

"

"The interest in electric utilities PLC is primarily compete with fixed operators. The idea is to offer the whole package, with transmission of image data and voice, because that compensates for the user, "explains the executive. He said the company did not set a price for the service, but simulations pointed to profitability between 20% and 700%. "It varies a lot, every project has a different cost. But of course, we will not get a return of 700%. In such cases, the user is who will pay less. "

Copel want to do most of the transmission on its fiber optic network, which has almost 11,000 km and serves 185 of the 399 municipalities in the state. Therein lies the great asset of the company: almost all the required network is already installed, and a "small fee" according Ghilardi, the company will be able to meet all its 3.5 million customers. "The entry in the fixed telephony market will enable Copel leverage brutal on your future income." "

as stated above and all fiber optic then you and very stable and secure.
