| Broadband over Power Line (BPL) |
BPL has captured the imagination of most electric utility managers since it was introduced years ago. If the recent pilot program successes in the U.S. are any indication, it appears that the technology may be ready for prime time. Uptown stands ready to assist our clients in understanding the advantages and limitations of deploying this latest technological marvel.
While it appears that BPL has crossed the threshold of readiness in the U.S., no utility should dive into a broadband venture without serious forethought and analysis. Like FTTP, the BPL vendor community offers a number of different approaches for offering broadband services over electric facilities. Some skirt transformers with additional cabling or Wi-Fi devices, while others go right through them. There is also a varying degree of fiber, copper and wireless back-haul being used. What is the right approach for your situation? This is where Uptown can help. We are experts in taking our clients through the technology deployment process, with a market driven approach.
