Broadband Over Power Lines (BPL)

Rural Americans have waited a long time for access to an affordable and viable high-speed internet solution. The wait is coming to an end.

Midwest Connections, a subsidiary of Midwest Energy Cooperative, in partnership with International Broadband Electric Communications (IBEC) will begin deploying a high-speed internet option in its service territory in January 2009.

Broadband over Power Line (BPL) is the newest heavy hitter in the competitive world of broadband Internet service. It will open up the world of high-speed Internet access in previously unserved or underserved areas. BPL is built using the existing infrastructure of our own electric distribution system. Because it is delivered over the power lines, you access the service through a common electrical outlet. No dialing in or tying up phone lines!

By slightly modifying the current power grids with specialized equipment, BPL developers are partnering with power companies and Internet service providers to make broadband available to anyone with access to electricity.
