This indicates that it is a viable technology for developing countries like Tanzania where there is adequate penetration of the powerline networks. However, the use of the network for data transmission presents a number of problems that limits achievable transmission distances (hops). This paper looks at different modulation and coding techniques to maximize transmission distanceenpowerlinedeveloping countriesmaximum data transmission distanceJournal Article, Peer Reviewed
