Could the HomePlug AV specification be used as the standard for BPL usage on LV lines?
Some BPL providers are using HomePlug 1.0 for this purpose today. Once the HomePlug AV specification is complete, Utilities, ISPs and technology integrators could decide to use HomePlug AV as their BPL technology on the LV side of the transformer. However, HomePlug AV does not have any element management provisions nor has it taken into account special utility applications such as AMR and peak shaving. So even if the Alliance were to adopt some (or all) of the HomePlug AV specification for the MAC and PHY portions of the BPL specification, there would still be a need to address the service provisioning/maintenance and utility usage requirements.
