LIPA Announces Request for Proposals to Test
Broadband Over Power Lines & Wireless Technology Applications
The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) today announced that
it will conduct a two-year test to assess the potential for
large-scale application of Broadband Over Power Lines (BPL) and
wireless technology to LIPA’s electric Transmission and
Distribution (T&D) system to enhance service reliability, and to
also evaluate the long-term potential for offering BPL and
wireless-enhanced products and services to LIPA’s customers.
“This is a significant demonstration project that will
help LIPA make crucial decisions regarding the application
of broadband and wireless technologies to its electric grid
to enhance system operations and reliability,” said LIPA
