- An innovative Power Line Carrier (PLC) Communication system for video and digitally signal processed data distribution using the existing DC copper wire is presented. The major contribution consists of a new signal coupler that achieves a stable transmission bandwidth on the DC electrical lines. Several weeks of continuous beta tests achieved video transmission on the trucks +12V wiring (from the back of the truck to the driver's cabinet) and product manufacturing and delivery has started. Benefits include: simplicity of application; ease of implementation; effectiveness with video and data; applicability to all application types; elimination of coax and twisted pair wiring and its maintenance.
