Recent experiments carried out by the BBC demonstrate how Power-Line Networking can interfere with FM radio. Power-line networking, one of several ways to connect computers in a home, uses the electrical wiring in a house to create a network. The new study, commissioned by the BBC and authored by one current and one former BBC engineer, examines transmissions coming off powerline telecommunications kit. PLT kit is required to conform to the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2006, which state that such interference as found by the researchers can’t be allowed.Read more in the Register.
