| BPL has never been rolled out in any rural community anywhere in the world.
Germany has the most BPL (PLC/PLT) installations (about 7,000). The German FCC has recently made their position clear “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 (radio pollution) ceilings in force nationally cannot be adhered to.”
The country with the most PLC (BPL) users says it is not compatible with radio services, so why are we bothering with this broken, failed and legacy technology?
There are many proven alternatives, DSL, WiMax, WiFi, MMDS, Cable, Fiber etc. |
