Re: A little clarity on BPL please The only company I knew that was doing surface wave was Corridor Systems. They moved away from access solutions and are focusing on mobile applications. Motorola's current solution is a hybrid wireless backbone and BPL on the LV wiring going into the customer premise. Did they decide to start experimenting with surface wave?
You're right that there is definitely different segments of BPL. I think BPL Internet access is DOA, but grid management will have the most success. Ironically though, the solution to grid management is already out there and proven, it's called PLC, the low bandwidth non-interfering and less costly predecessor to BPL. |
