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:
“His nature is too noble for the world;
He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,
Or Jove for’s power to thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Who will in fairest book of Nature know
How virtue may best lodged in beauty be,
Let him but learn of love to read in thee,
Stella, those fair lines which true goodness show.
There shall he find all vices’ overthrow,
Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty
Of reason,”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
