The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will look into ways that an emerging broadband option – broadband over power lines – can coexist with other devices using radio frequency.

The FCC on Thursday voted to move forward with a process to measure interference caused by broadband over power line service. Broadband over power lines – often called BPL – delivers high-speed Internet access using near ubiquitous power lines, but some licensed users of radio frequency spectrum have complained that BPL interferes with their signals.


The FCC notice of proposed rulemaking will attempt to measure radio frequency emissions from BPL equipment. Several groups, including the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), have expressed concerns over the unlicensed BPL equipment interfering with their licensed radio signals. However, Ahn Wride, a senior engineer in the FCC's Office of Engineering Technology, said FCC staff are confident the interference problems can be resolved.
