| Going online via power line |
利用电线也能上网 |
| In a pilot program, thousands of households in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, are using power lines to access to internet, China National Radio reported Monday. The new technology, called Broadband over Power Line, or BPL, allows users to use a new kind of modem powered by power lines that can transmit analog or digital signals. There is no longer a need to dial and lay out complicated wires for Internet access: all users have to do is just plug the modem into a socket and connect to the computer. |
据中国广播网周一报道，福建省福州市千余户居民开始试点利用电线上网。在这项新技术——“宽带电力线通信技术”中，用户使用了一种新型的调制调解器，俗称“电力猫”，并利用现有电力线来传输模拟或数字信号。不需要拨号，不需要复杂的布线，用户只需要将“电力猫”插入电源插座，再连上电脑即可上网冲浪。 |
