Broadband over power lines (BPL) is a method of power line communication that allows relatively high-speed digital data transmission over the public electric power distribution wiring. BPL uses different technologies from other forms of power-line communications to provide high-rate communication over long distances. BPL uses parts of the radio spectrum allocated to other over-the-air communication services. Interference to, and from, these services is a limiting factor in the introduction of BPL systems.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or lines:
“My most desire my hand may reach,
My will is alway at my hand;
Me need not long for to beseech
Her that hath power me to command.”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
“[Children] do not yet lie to themselves and therefore have not entered upon that important tacit agreement which marks admission into the adult world, to wit, that I will respect your lies if you will agree to let mine alone. That unwritten contract is one of the clear dividing lines between the world of childhood and the world of adulthood.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
