Do you think WiFi / 5 Ghz BPL will work?
Yes. Test have shown E-line to work in a variety of environments and is not effected by things like ice on the line. While powerline anomalies like splices and taps create losses that attenuate the signal, since this high speed BPL can operate at much high power levels under Part 15, such lossy anomalies can be easily overcome. These higher power levels also reduce the need for repeaters and any radiation from the powerline which inevitably occurs can be used to provide service to customers. This technology also has mobile possibilities something that HF BPL can’t begin to address. Also consider the amount of spectrum that is available for this microwave BPL, which is over 300 Mhz of spectrum. HF BPL in absolute ideal utopian conditions would have perhaps 80 Mhz to work with. As discussed elsewhere in this FAQ, this is just not the case in real life and BPL systems with any significant coverage area will be limited to frequency band of a few megahertz. Microwave BPL could operate in th
