 Broadband Powerline (BPL)
 PLC (Power Line Communications) existed for many years
 Narrow band frequency, under 1 KHz
 Mainly used to control OFF peak hot water system
 BPL (Broadband Power Line) is the new Telco type technology
 Concentrates mainly on access and home
 It uses OFDM Modulation Scheme
 Communicates over Low Voltage and Medium Voltage (up to 33kV) power distribution lines.
 Current generation DS2 technology operates at maximum 205 Mbps.
 Network management software allows remote management of the BPL system.
 BPL Applications
