The broadband over powerline controversy heats up
Wow! All I can say is "Wow"! We ran what seemed like a perfectly innocuous interview with an expert on what seemed like a perfectly innocuous topic: broadband over powerline (BPL). It seemed like the perfect no-brainer: more broadband, no extra wires, and high-speed Internet to countries with no other infrastructure. Apparently, not everyone agrees.
Understanding broadband over powerline technology
Broadband technology is changing at a wildly accelerated pace. Whether it's EvDO technology in your new Treo 700p or WiFi in your local coffee shop, it's clear Internet access is leaving POTS (Plain Ol' Telephone System) connections behind. One of the most exciting areas of innovation is broadband over powerline (BPL) technology, which distributes high-speed Internet connectivity over your household powerlines. We examine BPL in-depth this week in a detailed, exclusive interview with Chano Gomez, one of the leading experts on this technology.
Implementing broadband over powerline
We continue our examination of broadband over powerline technology this week in the second part of our exclusive interview with Chano Gomez, one of the leading experts on this technology.
Interference: is it the dark underbelly of BPL?
We continue our in-depth coverage of the broadband over powerline (BPL) controversy. Is it a benign technology that can bring broadband to the unwired masses or is it a disaster waiting to happen? Here at Computing Unplugged, we honestly don't know. The manufacturers have a heck of a story to tell, but if you read analysis by technical experts, like this one from engineer Bill South, you get an entirely different perspective.
