Re: BPL interference had been ironed out already !!! "Some of the first-generation equipment had some problems, but the latest technology adjusts the power levels to avoid any interference."
That may be technically correct and may work in a lab. If/when a BPL signal is interfering with a 50 MHz radio communication between a police car or ambulance and the dispatcher, how will the BPL system know at that relevant time to lower the power level? |

1 edit | It's late, so I will be brief. Given the propagation of HF radio waves, interference can occur outside of the service area.
Since 9/11, we haven't had another terrorist attack here in the NYC area. Although that is comforting, I don't think that the threat is less real. (Of course I am not equating BPL and the horrific events of 9/11, but you get my point.)
I would also not assume that because the BPL provider denies any instances of interference, that this means that there wasn't. I don't mean to paint them all with the same wide brush, but several BPL providers clearly played with the facts and figures in their favor.
Furthermore, I don't hope for a plane to crash before folks will agree to look at the concerns related to the propagation of RF across unshielded power lines.
Be well, Rob |

Current Technologies version of BPL does not use HF frequencies!
It uses carrier frequencies in the 30-50 mHz range which
still may cause interference to lo-VHF *licensed* services
such as the State Governments including State Police agencies.
Additionally, your logic is faulty. Just because something
hasn't happened so far doen't mean the potential of it
occurring somtime in the future are nil.
After reading the number of un-informed and ill-informed
posts in this thread, I am both amazed and appalled at the
ridiculous arguments some of these so-called BPL proponents
are asserting. (Oops, sorry, that word is probably not in
many of your vocabularies). Opinions are cheap and everyone
has one. Try basing arguments on fact and using logical
deductions to make your points instead of spouting an
ill-conceived "opinion" as fact. |
