There was a guy pushing BPL for rural areas in NY State in the early 2010's. He got a project funded somewhere, but I think only the one. If it worked well, they would have kept doing it.
Apart from that I've only seen it here or there as a one-off. Haven't even thought about it in years. -Adam ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]> on behalf of Nate Burke <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2025 11:07 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: [AFMUG] Current state of Powerline Devices It seems like every few years, data over powerline rears it's head then diminishes again into nothingness. I have an application where I have multiple buildings all behind a single transformer/meter, but because of the environment, it would be difficult to either lay new lines, or link the buildings wirelessly. I don't need a lot of throughput, just enough to run an AP with 2 or 3 users, and 1 or 2 cameras in each building. I've tested several Power line units over the years, but haven't touched them in probably 10 years or so. Wasn't there one Canopy/Cambium conference where they actually wired the hotel with their solution, which then disappeared a short time later? At one Point even Mikrotik had Powerline units, but it looks like it's been discontinued now as well. Are they still the sometimes work sometimes not that they used to be, or have they gotten better over the years, and there's actually something useful now? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
