Dirty or godsend technology?
----------------------------
A system that has many thousands of modulated radio frequency carriers
spaced at intervals of 1.1 kHz in spectrum between 3 MHz and 80MHz (and
beyond) is being proposed.
Not heard about it? Well this is the short-hand specifications of Broadband
over Powerlines or BPL that has radio users concerned throughout Australia
and overseas.
Regulators like the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) are trying to
find a way that accommodates this technology while not jeopardising the
enormous benefits provided to society by radio communications.
As a measure of the interest in BPL as broadband internet enabling
technology and a threat to radio spectrum users, the ACA has received some
200 submissions in response to its discussion paper on how to manage BPL
Interference.
These responses from industry, radio user representative organisations,
broadcasting and individuals are to be available on the ACA website this
month.
They will make interesting reading and provide even more insight into the
cases both for and against BPL.
Meantime the BPL trial continues at Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra in New
South Wales. A new trial is also still expected for Hobart.
