Main.net Communications has installations in over 25 countries worldwide.
The Ministry of Communications this week granted a license to Main.net Communications to test its power line communications (PLC) access network solution. The test in the Kryot area will include scores of participants, who will not pay for the service. Main.net has an understanding with Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) on the subject.
The Ham Radio Association filed an object to the test with the Ministry of Communications, claiming the use of the electricity grid for communications would disrupt ham radio communications.
Main.net is a global PLC leader. Its technology can transmit broadband communications, including high-speed Internet and other services. PLC could compete with the telephony companies' ADSL networks and cable companies' modems.
Main.net has experimental and commercial installations in over 25 countries worldwide. The largest commercial installation is in Germany, with 6,000 subscribers.
