This is very exiting technology,  Just think of the possibilities and the speed increases.

yeah. awesome technology. just think of the possibilities. ham radio interference, damaged power supplies, appliance malfunctions, emergency services radio interference...

EU endorses OPERA 2 international standardization activities for Powerline Communications

Proposal submitted to IEEE.

OPERA Project work receives EU top score for excellence

Madrid, 18th July 2007 - The OPERA 2 Consortium today announced that the European Commission has endorsed Opera 2 activities to develop a new generation PLC access standard. In a recent Review Meeting that took place in Lisbon to evaluate the work undertaken to date by the 26-partner consortium to promote the adoption of low cost, high performance broadband access PLC, the European Commission stated that the work undertaken in Opera 2 is excellent. The reviewers allocated the highest possible score for EU funded projects and were particularly impressed with the progress achieved, in particular the solid contribution to international standardization activities, excellent field trials deployed to demonstrate scalability of OPERA PLC technology and the quality of the deliverables.

“We are very encouraged that the European Commission has recognized the valuable work undertaken to date by the members of the consortium. Within the framework of a very ambitious Project, the Commission particularly endorsed the results of the joint contribution with the UPA that has been submitted to the standardization work underway within the IEEE P1901 Working Group. The Commission also endorsed the results of three successful deployments in the field that tested the strength of the specification in different topologies in real world scenarios. We are excited at the prospect of continuing to work together with the UPA to achieve an open standard that fulfils the requirements of all the various Powerline markets, operators, retailers, and utilities,” stated Javier Arriola, Iberdrola S.A., OPERA Project Coordinator.

I knew as soon as I read the title Reso had already been here. 

I personally look forward to it. I hope my rural elec. COOP is  also.

two: the video clip itself states tha it being on youtube is illegal.

three: has nothing to do with bpl. bpl is a wide area connection over powerlines served by modems in the transformers of the local power grid. what is shown is simply short range powerline LAN transmitters. will work in a house. can still create problems with appliances. if you live in an apartment and your neighbor uses it too, good luck with the frequency collisions.

four: see one.
