This is not my original experience, but a presenter at the Mikrotik User Meeting mentioned that a whole-building Motorola's powerline solution is more expensive per unit than wiring Cat5. And both are more expensive than say using a wireless mesh network. Both takes much less time to install than cat5, and is easier to hook up one unit at a time.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Liotta Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 9:51 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Motorola BPL Anyone have experience with Motorola BPL deployed with Canopy? The information from Motorola would have us believe that the technology is relatively cheap and easy to deploy. Is it? In our case, we are increasingly finding projects where we backhaul a building and then need to put in an Ethernet network to service multiple tenants. If we would replace the Ethernet network with BPL it may prove easier to deploy, cheaper, and most importantly better to manage since each tenant would have an integrated CPE as opposed to just a port on a switch. -Matt -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
