 Making multi tenant unit (MTU) ready for high-

speed 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.

 What is Broadband over
7
Powerline ?

BPL* (broadband over

power line) uses low
voltage/LV (80-240v)
or medium voltage
(MV) for high speed
data transfer instead
of phone line cable or
fiber optics as medium

*BPL also know as PLC: Powerline Communication

Technology Options

Technology Strengths Weaknesses

Wi-Fi Widespread No Video
Dead spot
Interference (no QoS/QoE)
Wired (FO or UTP) Well known Need new wiring system
Coax (EOC, MoCA, HPNA) TV Location Not available everywhere

Powerline (and Powerline over Coax)are the only In-Home

distribution technologies suitable for all Applications
