| German FCC - BPL does cause interference German FCC is entirely satisfied that BPL does cause interference
Germany has three commercial BPL systems with about 6,000 customers that have been operating (and polluting) for the last year.
Recently there was a meeting of the European regulators to discuss the request of the European BPL/PLC/PLT lobbyists to raise the level of permitted pollution from their systems.
The national delegations presented detailed and colorful PowerPoint presentations on the pollution issue except for the German delegation who presented a two page typed statement which opened with the appropriate pleasantries then got to the point.
“German Government does not regard a European legal framework which results in general freedom to use PLC as desirable at the present time, because Germany has a lot of negative experience with the compatibility of radio networks and line-bound networks. Initial findings about PLC applications suggest that, despite contrary assurances by the manufacturers, the ceilings in force nationally cannot be adhered to.”
The country with the most PLC (BPL) users says it is not compatible, so why are we bothering with this broken, failed and legacy technology? |
