1. A power line communications system for communicating data over one or more medium voltage overhead power line conductors, comprising:

  • a first communication device located at a first distribution transformer and coupled to a medium voltage (MV) power line conductor via a MV power line coupler;

    wherein said first communication device is configured to transmit and receive data over the MV power line conductor via said MV power line coupler;

    a second communication device connected to a low voltage power line that is electrically connected to a second distribution transformer that is connected to a MV overhead power line conductor and wherein said second communication device is configured to transmit and receive data over the low voltage power line; and

    wherein said second communication device is communicatively coupled to said MV overhead power line conductor via the low voltage power line which is electrically connected to the second distribution transformer, which is electrically connected to said MV overhead power line conductor.
