Telkonet
Telkonet, the leader in powerline communications (PLC) technology, offers a new, innovative and reliable way to provide high-speed Internet and network access for all of your networked digital signage applications. The Telkonet iWire System leverages your building's existing electrical wiring, delivering high-speed network access over the internal electrical wiring. In doing so, the network backbone can be deployed quickly - typically within a day - without costly new wiring, retrofitting, construction, or disruption. The Telkonet iWire System converts every power outlet inside a building into a high-speed data port. This means that you can easily move their electronic displays or kiosks to different locations, with both power and network access delivered from the same electrical outlet, giving you more flexibility. In addition to delivering reliable and secure wired network and Internet access, the system can be used as a backbone for Wi-Fi, reducing the amount of cabling necessary to enable wireless access points. With Telkonet's system, wireless access points can be easily located at any electrical outlet, rather than being limited to only where it is convenient to run CAT-5 cable. Telkonet's iWire System provides a flexible and scalable solution.
