Lab Tests Reveal Truth!
The EMC legislation relies upon the quality of the tests undertaken by laboratories and to this end, labs with the authorisation to test to the harmonised standards are called Notified Bodies. The personnel responsible are highly trained and the results definitive. We have just published a set of results for a Comtrend PLT adapter from one such Notified Body. The result speaks for itself.

Ofcom Commissions Report
Due to criticism from many fronts including the RSGB and from the Industry Association the EMCIA and Summit Group, Ofcom have commissioned yet another report into PLT. .

Originally scheduled to  be published at the end of November 2009 it was to cover the existing PLT 'standard' of 2 - 28 MHz but was adjusted to include VHF in light of the new gigabit PLT standard which will pollute up to 300 MHz. A freedom of information request has determined it is scheduled for publication in April.

300 MHz in the FOIA >>
Urgent - 300 MHz is live!
We recently purchased a Belkin "Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit" model F5D4076uk.

The units were installed per the manual and the emissions inside the house effectively wiped out most radio reception from:-

 0.1 MHz to 370 MHz.

 The units have been sent away for examination and testing to the current harmonised standards for Conducted Emissions. A report will be published in due course.

Join The Fight


As more people become aware of the significance of the interference, it becomes ever more clear that the population growth of PLT devices is unsustainable. Every genuine interference report we can send in to Ofcom is another nail in the coffin for PLT. We cannot afford to be complacent, those in power in Mainland Europe believe that PLT is the way forward and it is up to us to educate them.

If you want to become more involved in the fight against the rapid pollution of one of our planets greatest natural resources, then further reading is recommended.
