Wired LAN Installation Time-consuming, expensive, disruptive. High initial sunken costs; minimal ongoing costs. Extremely reliable Wireless LAN Easier than wired, but physical or environmental issues can limit effective deployment. High initial costs, minimal ongoing costs. Can cost more than wired with the need to run cables and install additional access points Reliability is reduced by interference from various sources and types of construction. Fair, common is 54 Mbps, few up to 108 Mbps BPL Simple installed within days with minimal equipment and without disruption Low installation and operating costs. Highly reliable

What is Broadband over Powerline?

A technology that transforms the standard electric power grid into a communications route to carry broadband telecommunications along its entire length and to every utility device on the grid and to every consumer outlet.

The broadband signal is

injected into the powerlines at strategic points, most often the utility substation regenerated along the grid route to assure good signal quality extracted from the powerlines at any point to provide communication services through specialized, low cost modems

Internet ready building

Making multi tenant unit (MTU) ready for highspeed broadband services using IP with the entire required infrastructure, network, operation, and service function. Internet service has become the next utility after electricity, telephone, water and gas.

In Building Broadband Access Technology Options

Technology Wi-Fi Strengths Widespread Weaknesses No Video Dead spot Interference (no QoS/QoE)
Need new wiring system Not available everywhere

Wired (FO or UTP) Coax (EOC, MoCA, HPNA)

Well known TV Location

Powerline (and Powerline over Coax)are the only In-Home distribution technologies suitable for all Applications

Benefits

Triple play (Data, Voice, Video) capability for users Low cost installation Plug-it, simple installation Time to revenue for building owner Increase building value Central manageability High scalability Creating reliable, secure users access to Broadband beyond wireless hot spots ingress and intermediate RF outage
