BPL: THE RFI CHALLENGE
by Gary Box
Broadband over Power Lines presents all stakeholders with new RFI
challenges. For the BPL vendors and utilities it is the challenge of
meeting FCC Part 15 obligations limiting harmful interference to all
licensed services that share the HF/VHF spectrum. To the licensed
services using the frequencies BPL wishes to share, it is the
challenge of identifying the impact of BPL and educating both the BPL
industry and the public at large of the associated risks. The FCC in
their Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on BPL noted "Operators would have
a strong incentive to exercise the utmost caution in installing their
systems to avoid harmful interference and ensure uninterrupted service
to their customers." It is the purpose of this paper to bring into
focus the scope of that obligation.
