Characterizing communications over mains wiring
Palladium Power-line carrier research & design
An applied research program examining how commercially available power-line carrier technologies behave in real buildings, with particular attention to noise, reach, interference and detectability.

Characterizing communications over mains wiring
Measure performance where the wiring is messy
Palladium explored existing power-line carrier standards and systems under practical conditions rather than relying solely on nominal laboratory specifications.
Study objectives
- Susceptibility to electrical noise
- In-residence coverage
- Interference with existing technology
- Ability to communicate beyond the electrical panel or meter base
- Assessment of numerous COTS power-line carrier options
Characterizing communications over mains wiring
Testing in representative residential and hospitality environments
The study included installations in multiple houses in an abandoned neighborhood as well as motel and hotel contexts.
Characterization
- Throughput under different wiring conditions
- Interference generated or encountered by the technology
- Detectability of active carrier systems
- Residential egress and boundary behavior
