Broadband Over Powerline
 

Motorola today announced the introduction of a wireless to low-voltage
Broadband Over Powerline (BPL) solution, Powerline LV (Low Voltage).
Powerline LV’s introduction to the utility industry was made during
the United Telecom Council’s “Telecom 2005” Expo in Long Beach, Ca.

Powerline LV unites Motorola’s Canopy™ Broadband Internet Platform
with enhanced HomePlug™ technology to provide an end-to-end Broadband
Over Powerline solution for the utility market. The first wireless to
low-voltage solution for widespread commercial use, Powerline LV
combines the Canopy platform’s reliable high-speed Internet service
with the lower-cost and non-invasive benefits of a low-voltage BPL
option.

By operating the Canopy HomePlug system on low-voltage powerlines,
Powerline LV is significantly less susceptible to interference.
Motorola developed a solution that does not use medium-voltage wiring,
greatly reducing high-frequency (HF) interference. Motorola also
integrated true radio-frequency (RF) notch filtering, providing
additional protection for amateur radio transmissions.
