Broadband over Power Lines gets a kick-start

This specification will accelerate mass rollout of high-speed, low-cost, broadband access, voice and audiovisual services, as well as utility applications for control and management operations.

After two years of development, a consortium of industry specialists from 35 organizations (including 10 universities) , and supported by the European Commission, developed the specification based on a marketing and functional requirement blueprint ratified by OPERA.

The specification, together with an "OPERA Technology White Paper" can be freely downloaded from the "Project Outputs" section of the OPERA web site ( http://www.ist-opera.org/ ).
