this appears to be a larger variation of the "HOMEPLUG" approach to using the power lines within the home to build a computer network. This has taken many years to work out the major problems of crossing between different split phases from the main circuit breaker.

As I understand this, this is a carrier current system, digital modulation format, frquencies ranging from 2 to 40 Mhz, amplitude limits of ~40 dB to 60 dB above Class A conducted emission limits. Anybody have any experiance or comments about this? For further explanation see: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/SilverStream/Pages/edocs.html Use the search term: "broadband over power line" thanks, dave garnier David Garnier e GE Medical Systems ___________________________________________ David S.
