Broadband over Powerlines that works and meets the standards and users expectations

Descripción del proyecto


Broadband for all

The technology has a big market potential and a BPL technology solving the open issues will undoubtedly allow the realization of 'Broadband for All'. The main advantage of BPL over the other broadband is that there is no new cables to be deployed as they are already in place. The new, cognitive BPL (CBPL) technology has been developed by ACN during the last two years, based on the detailed knowledge of the problems encountered in the previously conducted field trials. The company has been involved since 1999 in power line communications. The CBPL technology has been successfully simulated using MATLAB. The results are very promising: higher data rates are achievable (up to 300 Mbps) with lower transmit power spectral density, e.g. lower electromagnetic radiations. The leakage energy in the frequency bands allocated to other users is as low as -100dBm/Hz so that CBPL do not interfere with other users. ACN submitted several patent applications to protect its CBPL technology.POWERNET project has as a goal to demonstrate and validate the new, cognitive broadband over power lines (CBPL) under real world conditions in field trials using a large number of CBPL equipment.
