AT&T Conducting Trials of Gbps Broadband Over Power Lines
AT&T is conducting two field trials of its broadband over power line technology, named Project AirGig.
A unique approach to broadband transmission, AirGig launches millimeter wave signals that propagate along the surface of power lines. AT&T says the technology has the potential to provide data rates over 1 Gbps, enabling broadband internet to be distributed over power lines and eliminating the need to build towers and bury cables in areas with existing power lines.
