As in the UK, the problem seems to be with plug-in power line networking adapters provided with home Internet video systems to send continuous data streams the "last mile" (really on the order of tens of feet) from the net hub to televisions in other rooms of homes. This seems to be the consumer technology of the moment in Europe, where it competes with direct satellite for the non-government commercial programming market.
No attempt has been made to change the translation into "better" English. It communicates just fine the way it is, as posted to the list:

The specifications of [] are 2-34Mhz with a pwr about -56dBm and can syncronizate about 300meters distance.
