Motorola Suspends Powerline LV BPL Development
April 26, 2007 by kb3ljm.
Less than two years after announcing its Powerline LV Access BPL product, Motorola has decided to suspend product development and to devote its resources to more promising markets, industry sources say. Motorola reportedly has decided to focus on a product called Powerline MU, which is for use within multiple-unit dwellings. The decision to stop work on its Access BPL product reflects declining interest in residential broadband service delivery among utilities coupled with more immediate demand for in-building BPL systems. Motorola has indicated that it’s not scrapping Powerline LV altogether, however.

Satgate System to QRT, FO-29 analog transponder quits
April 26, 2007 by kb3ljm.
AMSAT-NA reports that after many years of forwarding packet messages via UO-22, GO-32 and AO-51 the Satgate System. The total of 35 worldwide stations in the system a few years ago has dwindled due to a lack of traffic, maintenance problems, change of location and operator attrition. The system originated with David Medley, KI6QE, and the driving force over the past several years has been Andrew Sellers, G8TZJ, who’s credited with developing software to permit Satgate stations to be fully automated. Meanwhile, an analog transponder of the FO-29 satellite reportedly has shut down, although Earth stations are looking into resurrecting the satellite and invite telemetry reports via e-mail. Ground controllers want to develop a plan to restore the more-than-decade-old satellite to operation. Mineo Wakita, JE9PEL, has created a simple decoder program for FO29’s CW telemetry downlink, should signals be heard. – AMSAT News Service
