FCC “Admonishes” Ambient over BPL Issues
The FCC, in a letter to Yehuda Cern, Chief Engineer for Ambient Corporation, concluded their investigation into whether Ambient’s BPL operation caused “harmful interference” to Amateur Radio stations in Briarcliff Manor, New York. The Commission found that “Ambient’s BPL operation has violated the radiated emission limits of Section 15.109″ of the FCC Rules “and the terms of its experimental license, call sign WD2XEQ.” The FCC’s letter went on to say that “we hereby admonish Ambient.” No findings were made, however, as to whether or not the system actually caused interference to Amateur Radio, and the Enforcement Bureau left open the issue of future experimental BPL operations at Briarcliff Manor.
