Is there some wrong anti-BPL interference information being disseminated?
As with any issue on the Internet, misinformation or misinterpretations can occur. Some wrong information that has been mentioned: · BPL Power Levels: BPL does not uses watts or kilowatts of power. · BPL Outlawed in Europe: No, it was never outlawed there, although it was outlawed in Japan for some time. · BPL Biological Effects: There is no risk of direct biological damage from BPL. · BPL Security Issues: BPL signals can be intercepted over the air but are undoubtedly encrypted and difficult to decode or do “man in the middle” network based attacks. A particular vendor may have packet sniffing vulnerabilities, however there is not an across-the-board issue with all BPL vendors due to the radiation and interference issue, in my opinion · BPL Affecting Domestic (VHF) Aviation Frequencies: BPL does affect transoceanic/international aviation frequencies but not VHF frequencies commonly used at airports for navigation, landing and takeoff, etc. at 108 to 136 Mhz.
