Nederland, TX | BPL is garbage and spectrum polluter BPL was touted as the high speed for RURAL areas....yet I see nothing where it is being deployed in RURAL areas..WHY? Because BPL is a spectrum polluter and tears up TV from 2 -6 and radios from above AM band to just below AND maybe even the FM band...this range, 2 - 88MHz includes ShortWave, ham and CB bands...not to mention business operations in the lowband VHF 30-50 MHz range...POWER LINES were NOT designed to carry RADIO signals....wires act as antennas and radiate the DIGITAL square waves all over the place....ever hear an AM radio placed next to a PC? This is much worse...and NOT needed..especially IN TOWNs! MaxFi will be cheaper and better...
300kbs speed is it?? and tear up the radio/TV bands for everyone else?? Yeah thats technical progress (not to mention a ham or CBer could easily cause your high speed BPL connection to totally QUIT and not work by their LEGAL transmissions...good thinking huh?) |

Please be so good to point me to the technical paper(s) that explain how the BPL wizards have managed to prevent a power line acting as an antenna. Perhaps you also have references for articles explaining how BPL installations will also manage to remain immune from ingress of legally transmitted signals? These BPL guys must be really good if they've achieved both of these goals. Please educate me on these momentus breakthroughs in physics... |

Hi Marko,
I'm still waiting for that list of DC utility networks or why DC systems are better for BPL than AC based systems.  |
