Powerline Networking

Some observations and tips

It is well established that the performance of a powerline network system is dependent on the wiring and extraneous interference that the adapters and signal path encounter. The proximity of an EM producing device is likely to degrade the performance of the powerline adapter to in some cases un-usability.

The marketing of filters to overcome the effects of interference

Apart from a monumental exercise in Social Marketing, Echo Dream Venture do not seem to make sense irrespective of their efforts to appear that they have a solution.

Maybe they do, but the lengths to which they go make one suspicious that they are not just trying to "blind" their potential customers with science.


The diagrams above and below are taken from a pdf that the boys at Eco Dream Venture have posted to the Internet. It is not known what the purpose of this pdf (demo sheet) is. Do they expect potential customers  to visit their facility in Petaling Jaya, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur? It is a bit far for me to go! Or is it a promotional tool that they hope will be picked up by an international distributor of their lightning isolators.

It is not clear here that there is any difference between a PLC-WP1 and a PLC-CLLI

Calvin and Leong are founders of Eco Dream Ventures (along with Muhammad Syawalfiza). Paul Chang is the guy that dreampt up the idea of using a Lightning Isolator (surge protector) as a means to improve the performance of powerline networking.
