Wireless-broadband over power lines networks: A promising broadband solution in rural areas
Summary. Wireless-broadband over power lines (W-BPL) technology combines power line communication and wireless transmission to deliver broadband access in rural areas where traditional infrastructure investment is economically unfeasible. A trial deployment in rural Greece demonstrated that this hybrid approach successfully provides broadband services and enables smart grid applications across a 70 km medium-voltage power network, offering a cost-effective alternative for remote communities.
