  2. PLC System • Converts electrical outlets into a high-speed data network • Gateway • Connects to Internet via Ethernet; converts signal to PLC signal; accepts data from an existing network and distributes it to the Coupler • Coupler • Wired directly to building’s electrical panels; injects PLC signal into the building’s electrical system • eXtender • Propagates PLC signal, accepts data from the Gateway and distributes it to Couplers • iBridge™ • Connects to a computer and a power outlet to access the Internet System Components

  3. Typical Building Installation

  4. Multiple Building Installation

  5. PLC System Benefits – Purchaser • Simple to install using existing electrical wiring • No new wiring, rewiring or cabling • No construction mess • No issue with who owns the wires • Invisible installation • No disruption to guests/residents • Installed in the building’s electrical room Typical Installation

  6. PLC System Benefits – Purchaser • Rapid deployment • Instant deployment: no need to wait for a cable or DSL modem • The system can be up and running within a few days • Once installed, the entire building is Internet-ready The Entire Building Is Internet-Enabled

  7. PLCSystem Benefits – Purchaser • Cost-effective • Low cost of entry: no need to purchase a network backbone • No significant capital outlay is required • Scalable system: add iBridges as needed • Simple remote network management • Gateway can be remotely managed via a web browser (http), Telnet or SNMP interface • The firmware of the Gateway and iBridge can be remotely updated Simply Add iBridges As Needed

  8. PLC System Benefits – User • Easy to use • Plug-and-play, hassle-free Internet connection • No drivers or additional software to install • Convenient: access the Internet from any outlet • Reliable and continuous data transmission • Eliminates potential interference with data signals • Enables data to be shifted from one carrier to another as real time noise and attenuation conditions change Internet Access From Any Outlet

  9. PLC System Benefits – User • Secure data transmission • Patent-pending secure iBridge™-to-Gateway architecture ensures no use can see other users on the network • Data is secure from outside intrusion • Data is encrypted with 56-bit Data Encryption Standard • No wireless connectivity issues • The convenience of wireless with the security of wireline Convenient Internet Access

  10. Hotel Owner Considerations • Time required to complete the installation • Disruption to hotel guests and office staff • Disruption to property structure • Security of hotels guests’ and owners’ file transmissions • Flexibility of use • Ease of use • Cost involved € €€

  11. Hotel Owner Motivations • Increase revenues and profitability • Increase revenue per room • Increase average room rate • Maintain customer satisfaction • Satisfy brand standards • Attract business travelers

  12. Sample Architecture

  13. Wireless Hotspot Solution

  14. AccessPoint Broadband Satellite ‘in-building’ Solution For distributed internet in a commercial building Gateway Network Operations Center Broadband Satellite Solution

  15. Scenario : Hotel Internet Access with VLAN

  16. PLC Network Customer Office Location’s Web Content RADIUS & Security Electrical Wiring Management/ Maintenance Billing & Settlement iBridge™ The Internet Monitoring & Reporting Support iBridge User Case Scenario : Billing Gateway • The Billing Gateway is a separate device with valued added features

  17. Sales Applications • High Speed Internet Access to any building e.g. Hotels • Building services automation • Building security surveillance • Remote monitoring and control • Any IP based application where PLC can be used instead of traditional CAT5 cabling or WiFi

  18. Site Survey • Conduct and complete checklist • Consider number of floors and rooms to PLC enable • Number of electrical Main Panels • Number of sub panels per floor • Access to local electrician for connection of Couplers and RG6U coaxial cable runs • A typical 100 room hotel requires the following: • 1 x Gateway, 1 x eXtender • 6 -10 Couplers • ‘n’ x iBridges (typically 10 units or one modem per room)

  19. Summary • Convenient high-speed Internet access • Connect from any electrical outlet in any room, meeting room or public area for maximum flexibility • Simple and quick to install • Minimal wiring and cabling is needed • The network already exists in the building • Eliminates any concern • Installation is non-disruptive • Cost-effective, scalable system
