In order to rise to the challenge of Energy conservation and control in the built environment, Hughes Electronics started their research into Ethernet over Power cable. e.Power, our latest research and development project is a multi-tasking central control system that offers a holistic, whole building solution to data transfer, energy management and appliance control.

Intended to become the ‘central nervous system’ of the built environment the system provides a data transmission ‘superstructure’ propagating data and energy through a combination of power line communication technology and wireless (patent pending).
