Re: [AFMUG] Access Broadband over Powerline

I am not an expert on this but ask them what data throughput speeds they can do on this meter reading system? I know a lot of rural Co-Ops that have had meter reading and network monitoring over their lines for years. So yes you can do some level of data over power lines and pass through transfo

That type of meter reading is very slow speed data as I recall, I think less than dial up. It works good for once a month meter readings and occasionally sending data bullets to shut down water heaters and such.

Re: [AFMUG] Access Broadband over Powerline

They use wireless for smart meters.  Around here it's Wimax to feed a 900mhz base station, then 900 to the smart meter.  In a different municipality nearby they have a mobile system that polls the meters when they drive by.  So the meter reader still exists, but all he has to do is drive slowly

Seems simple enough. So what means exist for BPL to the transformer? How do smart meters work? They have to jump the transformer some how. > On Jul 19, 2018, at 20:33, Adam Moffett wrote: > > Signal doesn't pass through transformers, so you need the access point on the > customer side of t

Re: [AFMUG] Access Broadband over Powerline

Signal doesn't pass through transformers, so you need the access point on the customer side of the transformer.  So you need a means to get internet to the pole which has the customer's transformer on it.  If you could do that you wouldn't need the BPL. That's the long and the short of it. O
