The interests of the Technical Committee on Power Line Communications (TC-PLC) span all areas of communications over power lines, e.g., access, home networking, in-vehicle applications, utility applications, etc. The areas of interest to the Technical Committee are the analytical, theoretical, simulation, experimental, and practical aspects of digital communications over power lines. The Committee will organize events in the Power Line Communication area, endorse and organize conferences, contribute to the organization of technical events along ComSoc flagship conferences, and will promote the realization of special issues on leading journals and magazines. The Committee, working closely with IEEE-SA and other IEEE Societies, will also promote the development of IEEE Standards in the area of Power Line Communications.
