AT&T said low-cost plastic antennas and devices located along the power line send wireless signals to each other, using the power lines as a guide. There is no physical connection to the poweline.
With more than 100 related patents, AT&T literally built Project AirGig from the ground up. Also, AirGig, according to AT&T, would be easy to deploy since most of the resources needed are already provided for. Building new towers and running underground cables would be unnecessary.

Field trials for AT&T’s AirGig begin in 2017.
