Low cost inter-device peer-to-peer networking

Power lines may be used to create a network that links devices together on the power grid. Since such a network makes use of the existing infrastructure, installation time and cost are virtually non-existent. Also since every outlet or junction box becomes a point where a device may be connected, the device can be moved around numerous times. An example of such a network can be to replace the RS232 wiring required to set audio and video inputs on various systems in a house or a building.
