The Universal Powerline Association (UPA) is the first truly global and universal PLC association to cover all markets and all PLC applications. A key aim is to promote among government and industry leaders the tremendous potential of PLC technologies to build a global communication society. The UPA is the only forum that can strengthen international cooperation in the emerging PLC market.

There is an increasing need for open standards and full coexistence for PLC technologies to achieve a strong position in the communications infrastructure. We have attracted the key PLC companies, utilities, consumer electronic equipment manufacturers, and chipset providers to create a powerful association that will define and harmonize PLC standards globally. We are an open association that welcomes all interested companies to participate in shaping the future of PLC.
