Motorola Powerline MU is a new broadband ac-cess solution

that combines the proven Motorola

CanopyTM wireless broadband platform with HomePlug technology to deliver broadband services to residents and busi-nesses that have been difficult or costly to reach with tradition-al broadband technologies. The Powerline MU solution allows service providers and property managers to deploy and man-age a broadband-over-powerline (BPL) network at low cost for multi-dwelling unit or multi-tenant unit buildings such as apartment buildings, hotels or retail outlets with virtually no disruption to the building, since it transfers Internet sig-nals through existing electrical wires. Powerline MU provides a complete, remotely manageable BPL solution from a lead-ing manufacturer complete with user security, authentication, QoS, VoIP capability and bandwidth allocation. By deploying Powerline MU in their building, property managers create a powerful IP communications network as accessible as the next electric outlet. To learn more, visit www.canopywireless.com and look under “BPL.”
