Re: Telecoms over Electrical Distribution System Hi Steve, Yes it is doable, Nortel is demo-ing the system in Europe. It is far more feasible in Europe and Asia due to the fact that they usually have 200 or so homes downstream from a transformer. There is a bridge that is required to circumvent the signal distortion the x-former causes. It is deemed economically feasible there, however, in N.
