Broadband over Power Line

Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) or Power Line Communications (PLC) has the potential to substantially increase the noise floor and have a negative impact on many users of the Radio Spectrum. Please promptly report any NZ local BPL activity you may find to NZART Council so that the actions described on these various web pages can be commenced here.

NZART and WIA Join Forces on The BPL Issue

In an effort to make the most effective use of resources and because the BPL issues in both Australia and New Zealand are similar, the NZART and the WIA will work as a team in an effort to achieve a positive outcome on this issue for Amateur Radio. The NZART have produced a very informative webpage with many links to the WIA website and many other related sites and informative information. The WIA has added a link to the new NZART webpages via the BPL menu and to the very extensive and informative ARRL BPL pages.
