Broadband over powerline for Delhiites

NDPL ties up with Delhi College of Engineering
A pilot project to be launched in three months: Would give access to a host of services through existing lines

The North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL) and the Ministry of Information Technology are working towards an initiative that will make broadband connections through power lines possible.

“We will send Internet signals through electricity transformer and channelize them through cables running overhead and underground,” said NDPL spokesperson Ajay Maharaj. “Residents would be given a device to plug into power points at home; they will have a broadband connection.”

How it works?
* Internet signals will be transmitted through power transformer
* Will be channelised through overhead and underground power cables
* Signals to be received by device plugged into a power point at home
* Signals to be transmitted to laptop or PC through the device
