IEEE 1675-2008 was a standard for
broadband over power lines
Broadband over power lines (BPL) is a method of power-line communication (PLC) that allows relatively high-speed digital data transmission over the public electric power distribution wiring. BPL uses higher frequencies, a wider frequency range and ...
developed by the
IEEE Standards Association. It provided electric utility companies with a comprehensive standard for safely installing hardware required for
Internet access capabilities over their power lines.
The standard was published 7 January 2008. The
IEEE 1901
The IEEE Std 1901-2010 is a standard for high speed (up to 500 Mbit/s at the physical layer) communication devices via electric power lines, often called broadband over power lines (BPL). The standard uses transmission frequencies below 100 ...
standard was another related attempt published in 2011.
