Summary. Broadband over powerline (BPL) technology transmits internet signals through existing low-voltage electricity lines, eliminating the need for new infrastructure. Researchers deployed a hybrid BPL system in rural Sarawak using custom equipment mounted on electricity poles. A pilot project at two longhouses demonstrated the technology's feasibility, advantages, and limitations as a cost-effective alternative for expanding internet connectivity to remote areas.
