ISPr Interviews Keith MacLean (Powerline)
Posted: 24th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
ISP Review has today uploaded a 5 page interview with Keith MacLean (SSE Telecom) regarding Scottish Hydro-Electric's new broadband Powerline technology.
If you couldn't guess from the name then Powerline allows fast Internet access via a standard home or businesses power supply:

7) Could Powerline technology cover ANY house connected up to SSE's services, or is there some sort of problem / technical and or financial issue to consider first (coverage distance etc.)?
Technically any property can be covered, but we believe at the moment a cell size of 50 users is needed to cover the costs of backhaul etc. This can be reduced by anchor clients from the public sector - schools, libraries, GP's.
