For the sake of useable HF bands, I certainly hope this technology works as promised.
Motorola's Powerline LV modem this week received approval from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), meaning the vendor can begin shipping its Broadband over Power Line (BPL) solution in the next month, company officials said.
UL approval also will let Motorola continue its testing with ARRL, the national association for the amateur radio community, said thingy Illman, a member the advanced wireless team in Motorola special markets division of engineering.
ARRL has been vocal in its criticism of many BPL systems that generate interference-causing emissions from broadband signals being transmitted over medium-voltage power lines. Motorola's Powerline LV solution avoids this problem by using a Canopy wireless architecture to transmit the broadband signal to the transformer server an area, from which only low-voltage wires are used.
