Patent ID: 11108750

Abstract:
A broadband over powerline (BPL) unit is provided. The BPL unit includes at least one processor programmed to execute a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine, at least one memory device in communication with the at least one processor, and a powerline transceiver. The at least one processor is programmed to transmit and receive data over a three-phase power line via the powerline transceiver. The at least one processor is also programmed to receive, via the first virtual machine, a first plurality of data for transmission via the powerline transceiver, receive, via the second virtual machine, a second plurality of data for transmission via the powerline transceiver, transmit, via the powerline transceiver, the first plurality of data via a first phase, and transmit, via the powerline transceiver, the second plurality of data via a second phase.
