Broadband over power line technology provides high speed broadband Internet access over conventional electrical power lines.Broadband over power line is a recently commercialized technology that allows broadband Internet (using Internet Protocol - IP) to be communicated over the power grid at speeds ranging from 4Mbps to 145Mbps for delivery of data traffic and applications to homes and businesses on a shared basis. It is gaining attention due to ease of deployment, cost effectiveness and high speed reliable services. BPL is already deployed in many countries like U.S, Africa, Europe and Middle East. In India, IIIT Allahabad has undertaken a project in collaboration with Corinex Communications Canada to implement a prototype of BPL for University campus and nearby villages. This paper shows the critical analysis of Broadband over power line technology deployment in Indian context.
