Presentation Transcript

  1. Broadband Powerline(BPL) Lon Mills TCM 268 Professor Harper

  2. Overview • History • How it works • Advantages / Disadvantages • Comparison of Cost • Future

  3. History • Around for over 80 years • Telemetry • Remote connections • Fiber link (1990) • Europe Deployment • 2003 FCCs NOI • 2004 Bush’s recommendation • HomePlug Alliance

  4. How BPL Works • Radio Frequency (RF) injected on power line • High Voltage (HV) Medium Voltage (MV) Low Voltage (LV) • Perfect system • Three Architecture for Access BPL • MV to LV (OFDM) • MV to WiFi or RF to LV • MV to LV (DSSS)

  5. BPL: Architectural Configurations

  6. BPL: Architectural Configurations (cont.)

  7. Fiber • -MV Three Phase • -MV Single Phase

  8. Advantages • Where Power is - there is a Network • Remote access for rural areas • Structured wiring already in place • MV to LV provides hardwire security

  9. Disadvantages • Transformers • Security for WiFi connections • Office / Apartment Buildings • Noise distortion • Availability

  10. Comparison Cost • DSL • $39.95 per month • 3 Mbps Downstream 1.5 Upstream • Cable • $29.95 per month • 5 Mbps Downstream 3 Mbps Upstream • BPL • $28.95 per month • Range from 3 to 11 Mbps Upstream and Downstream

  11. Future • West Florida Electric Cooperative in Graceville, Florida • 80 Mbps • 50 Mbps at physical layer • Matsushita Electric Industrial Co in Tokyo, Japan • New chip set • 170 Mbps – Faster than Ethernet

  12. The Network

  13. In Home BPL • X10 • LonMark • Demo

  14. Thank You • Question? • Comments?
