The communication module enables utilities to deploy the network without specifically planning
for segregation of RF and PLC environments. Intelligence in the communication module
chooses the communication link quality and modulation scheme that support the best possible
data rate. Data rates of up to 600Kbps are achievable by this multimedia mesh. This is done
automatically in real-time by the modules without any need for pre- programming or path hard-
coding. The communication modules create their own multi-hop environment using the best
available physical path for communication where the routing is managed by standardized
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) routing protocols that are independent of the physical
link. See figure.
