FCC ADOPTS RULES FOR BROADBAND OVER POWER LINES TO INCREASE COMPETITION AND PROMOTE BROADBAND SERVICE TO ALL AMERICANS

FCC ADOPTS RULES FOR BROADBAND OVER POWER LINES TO INCREASE COMPETITION AND PROMOTE BROADBAND SERVICE TO ALL AMERICANS
Washington, DC - As part of its goal to promote access to broadband services for all Americans and to encourage new facilities-based broadband platforms, the Federal Communications Commission today adopted changes to Part 15 of its rules to encourage the development of Access Broadband over Power Line (Access BPL) systems while safeguarding existing licensed services against harmful interference. Access BPL is a new technology that provides access to high speed broadband services using the largely untapped communications capabilities of the nation’s power grid. By facilitating access to BPL, the Commission takes an important step toward increasing the availability of broadband to wider areas of the country because power lines reach virtually every home and community. In areas where consumers already have broadband access, BPL can enhance competition by providing another broadband alternative. Access BPL will also facilitate the ability of electric utilities to dynamically manage the power grid itself, increasing network reliability by remote diagnosis of electrical system failures.

In the Report and Order (Order) adopting these changes, the Commission recognized the significant concerns of some licensed radio service users regarding the potential of Access BPL systems to cause interference to their operations. The Commission stated that its intention in adopting the Part 15 rule changes was to ensure that Access BPL operations do not become a source of harmful interference to licensed radio services. Based on extensive research and analyses, as well as experience, it concluded that the interference concerns of licensed radio users can be adequately addressed and that Access BPL systems will be able to operate successfully on an unlicensed, non-interference basis under the Part 15 model. The rule changes in the Order establish specific technical and administrative requirements for Access BPL equipment and operators to ensure that interference does not occur and, should it occur, to provide for a timely resolution of that harmful interference without disruption of service to Access BPL subscribers. The Order also sets forth procedures to measure the radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by Access BPL equipment.

Specifically, the Order by the Commission:
- Sets forth rules imposing new technical requirements on BPL devices, such as the capability to avoid using any specific frequency and to remotely adjust or shut down any unit;
- Establishes “excluded frequency bands” within which BPL must avoid operating entirely to protect aeronautical and aircraft receivers communications; and establishes “exclusion zones” in locations close to sensitive operations, such as coast guard or radio astronomy stations, within which BPL must avoid operating on certain frequencies;
- Establishes consultation requirements with public safety agencies, federal government sensitive stations, and aeronautical stations.
- Establishes a publicly available Access BPL notification database to facilitate an organized approach to identification and resolution of harmful interference.
- Changes the equipment authorization for Access BPL systems from verification to certification; and
- Improves measurement procedures for all equipment that use RF energy to communicate over power lines.

Action by the Commission, October 14, 2004 by Report and Order (FCC 04-245). Chairman Powell, Commissioners Abernathy, Martin, and Adelstein with Commissioner Copps dissenting in part and approving in part. Joint statement issued by Chairman Powell and Commissioner Abernathy, separate statements issued by Commissioners Copps, Martin, and Adelstein.

"These printers are the first of many compelling platforms that extend the freedom and flexibility of Wi-Fi to consumer devices," said Jeff Abramowitz, Senior Director of Marketing for Broadcom's Home and Wireless Networking Business Unit. "Broadcom's wireless LAN business has continued to outpace its competitors, benefiting from the increased adoption of Wi-Fi in embedded applications such as wireless-enabled printers and broadband modems and the opportunities these new devices create for expanded wireless connectivity in the home."

"Printers are the next logical step in the wireless computing revolution," said Joe Keller, home networking strategist, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. "By collaborating with Broadcom, HP was the first to deliver printers with built-in 802.11g, providing high-speed wireless connections that make it easy for customers to share printers on their home networks and print from practically anywhere in the house."

54g is Broadcom's premier implementation of the IEEE 802.11g standard, enabling printers and other products to connect wirelessly with maximum speed, reach and security. Broadcom has now shipped over 30 million 54g chipsets, making 54g the most popular Wi-Fi technology for homes, businesses and public hot spots. In addition to appearing in the leading brands of 802.11g access points, notebook and desktop PCs, network adapters and broadband modems, 54g continues to gain momentum in a variety of new wireless devices and applications.

For example, Apple Computer recently embedded 54g(TM) technology into its new AirPort® Express, the world's first 802.11g mobile base station. The ultra-compact design utilizes Broadcom's highly integrated wireless LAN processor to deliver maximum portability and convenience for wireless users. The device also takes advantage of the robust security features of Broadcom's OneDriver(TM) software to protect AirPort networks against unauthorized use.
