BPL Technology in Manassas Complete, Ham Radio Addressed

Communication Technologies, Inc. (COMTek) said today that it has voluntarily adjusted nearly 600 broadband over powerline (BPL) devices in Manassas, VA, and that there remains no "documented basis for further ham radio operator concerns" about the firm's nationally recognized BPL system in the city.

COMTek said that any meaningful issues or concerns about BPL in Manassas will be addressed in full and should be directed to Customer Service at (703) 365-8211. COMTek BPL network now serves 900 home and business subscribers in Manassas and is progressing steadily to the 1000th customer milestone. The Chantilly, Va.-based company's network in Manassas is the first commercial deployment of BPL in the nation to use a city-wide electricity grid to provide individual homes and businesses with direct "plug in" broadband access through electric sockets, rather than over phone or cable TV lines.

COMTek Vice President Walt Adams said: "...we know of fewer than half a dozen ham radio operator complaints, each of which COMTek has gone to truly extraordinary lengths to address. ... The opposition from these almost entirely non-Manassas individuals and their national organization appears to be grounded in a fundamental opposition to BPL rather than any hard facts."
