heal.abstract	In rural areas and remote areas the expenditure for new projects related to broadband communications is deterred. In this paper hybrid Wireless-Broadband over Power Lines (W-BPL) technology, suitable for rural and remote areas is presented. This hybrid approach employs BPL technology for the transmission of communication signals via the medium voltage (MV) grid and wireless technology for providing broadband access to end users. The advantages and opportunities of this hybrid solution are presented through the deployment of a trial hybrid W-BPL network in Larissa, a rural area in central Greece. This network offers broadband access and smart grid applications along a 70 km MV power grid. The supported services along with network performance issues are discussed. © 2009 IEEE.	en
