Broadband Over Power Lines (BPL) is a technology for distributing broadband internet over the high voltage electricity lines. It seeks to exploit the established network of powerlines for broadband distribution - avoiding the need to lay new or upgrade existing telecom cabling.
Broadband over Powerlines faces various challenges due to the noise created by high voltage power and the blocking effect of trasnformers.
Broadband over Powerlines should not be confused with HomePlug technology where network signals are distributed throughout domestic wiring in s house.
