And BPL is not just a 'last mile' solution, many papers touting BPL say 'no new wires'. That means for pure BPL you either are sending HF/VHF signals over a large antenna system (with the attendant radiation and line loss and a LOT of amplifiers and jumpers) or you cheat and run fiber to the local substations. By then you might as well go with a wireless signal. We have a lot of those private wireless systems popping up around here and from what some friends of mine say, it is a good system. The power company could have made a killing if they went that route with fiber on their right-of-way instead of trying to force a flawed technology. -- I am not lost, I find myself every time. |
