The 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Power Line Communications and its Applications (ISPLC) is the 24th symposium dedicated to scientific and technical advances in the field of communications over power lines. The event is sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc). It will be held in Málaga, the capital of the Coast of the Sun (Spain), between 31st March and 3rd April, 2020 (Tuesday to Friday).

The symposium covers all aspects of power line communications and its applications: theoretical and practical aspects of communications theory, algorithms, channel and noise measurements, EMC, simulations and real implementations, evaluation and lessons from field trials and related experience, network planning, installation, operation and management, protocols, cybersecurity, industrial applications, standards and regulations pertaining to communications via power lines, and related topics.

Traditionally, one of the main features of ISPLC is strong participation of the industry, bringing together researchers, practitioners and users of PLC technologies. The symposium will include a series of keynote speeches and experts’ panel talks, as well as an industry exhibition focusing on PLC applications.
