Telkonet is an innovative creator of unique Powerline Communications (PLC) solutions for the commercial and industrial markets, which utilizes their patent-pending technology. Telkonet invents new methods for delivering high-speed Internet access over the standard electrical lines already installed in buildings.
The "PlugPlusInternet" solution set is comprised of two products, the "PlugPlusInternet" Gateway and the "PlugPlusInternet" Modem designed to meet the commercial needs of hotels, office buildings, schools, shopping malls, and multi-dwelling residential markets.
The Telkonet "PlugPlusInternet" family of commercial products provides excellent connectivity over the existing electrical wiring and does not require the costly installation of additional wiring, or major disruption of business activity. In many situations the "PlugPlusInternet" system can be implemented more quickly and less expensively than adding dedicated wiring or installing a wireless system offering a viable and cost effective alternative to the challenges of hardwiring and wireless LANs.
