RE: Re: Powerline Ethernet Technology

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, I use the Octava range from Joe Fernand at TMF Solutions. I've
installed quite a few point-to-point sets and not had an issue with any to
date. Some are running on CCA Cat5e at nearly 80 metres and still work
perfectly.



I'm not involved directly with Smartkontrols/EnerG other than being a
customer of their as I still support my existing installations in Scotland.
