CONCEPT AND KEY TECHNIQUES OF USING POWER TRANSMISSION LINES AS COMMON PLATFORM FOR TELEPHONE, COMPUTER, TELEVISION AND POWER TRANSMISSION NETWORKS

The concept of using power transmission lines as one common platform for telephone, computer, television and power transmission networks, i.e. four networks on one common platform, is presented in this paper. Its technical demands are analyzed in detail. Considering the breakthrough in digital voice system and data exchange technique, the probability of implementing this concept is discussed. In this paper a conceived frame for “four networks on one common platform" being imagined is given. Some key problems which must be solved for the implementation of “four networks on one common platform" are pointed out.
