BPL is data "conducted" over powerlines below about 30(?)MHz,
microwave bands are not involved.
Ham bands suffer, see FCC site or ARRL (protested)
BPL = "city wide longwire antenna" with Data on it.

Anyone know much about this supposedly non-interfering BPL.

Some years ago the FCC reallocated the 3.65 to 3.7 GHz band for broadband
internet service. This effectively sterilized 50 MHz of spectrum for
international satellite communications. To the best of my knowledge, this
reallocated spectrum was never used for broadband internet service by those who
clamored for the reallocation

But I heard there is a microwave version of BPL.

Then it isn't BPL. B=Broadband over P=Power L=Lines.

Perhaps you're referring to WISP? Wireless ISP? Works great, using it!
