Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN)
We live in a world that places a premium on high-speed access to data.
Email. The World Wide Web. Local Area Networks. We want our information, and we want it fast. And, more than ever, we want convenience, flexibility and portability in how and where we access all this information. But high-speed access with this combination of benefits is often hard to achieve in certain buildings - particularly large commercial ones, older structures, or other buildings where installing special wiring or cabling is not viable, and where wireless solutions are not desired. Now there's a way to have data communications access throughout your building, costeffectively, with no hassle or disruption to business activities. The only requirements: electricity and a broadband signal coming into the building.
JUST PLUG IT IN
Powerline Communication (PLC) is a fancy name for a simple yet revolutionary concept: transmitting high-speed data signals over existing electrical wiring. That's right, the Internet and more at your fingertips…and your window to it is the ordinary electrical outlet on your wall. You just plug in and you're ready to go. It's not science fiction. PLC technology is here now. It's affordable. And it's available for commercial buildings only from Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN).
The Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) system offers a combination of benefits you won’t find with other data communications technologies:
• No additional wiring:
Installation is easy, fast and non-disruptive.
• No new holes in your walls:
And no disruption to your
staff or their operations.
• Cost-effective: Especially if
users need portable Internet
access, or if building design prevents
deployment of a wireless solution.
• Convenience and portability:
anywhere there’s an electrical
outlet, you’ve got a
connection.
• More secure than wireless:
no security concerns about
who’s picking up your
wireless radio signals.

The PlugPlus InternetTM System
The PlugPlus Internet system consists of three basic components. The PlugPlusTM Gateway and the PlugPlusTM Coupler, are installed near the power panel (circuit breaker) in your building. The PlugPlusTM Modem is a small, self-contained unit with a standard electrical plug (110/220-volt) on one side, which gets plugged into any standard electrical outlet. At the other end of the modem is an Ethernet RJ-45 connector, which is connected to the computer.
The PlugPlus Gateway comes in a standard Ethernet configuration. The gateway takes the incoming broadband signal (from DSL, T1, satellite, or cable modem) and distributes it throughout the existing network of electrical wiring within the building.
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) users simply plug the PlugPlus Modem into any ordinary electrical outlet and they have immediate high-speed Internet and data communications access to the outside world, all over their existing electrical wiring, with no additional or dedicated wiring needed. The current generation of the PlugPlus Internet system delivers data at speeds in excess of 7 Mega bits per second (Mbps), with burst speeds as high as 12.6 Mbps. Future versions of Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) technology will provide even greater speeds.
Eliminate the cost and disruption of installing new wiring
The advantages of the
Worldroom powerline Communication and Wireless Access Network (WAN) come from the fact that this remarkable technology relies on existing electrical wiring in the building to deliver high-quality Internet and data services. In effect, the electrical wiring already in place becomes the backbone for your local area network. Gone are the complications and labor costs associated with running new wiring through your walls. And if it's an older structure - or one with asbestos in the walls - you'll appreciate
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) technology even more, and so will your walls. No more installation headaches, no more disruption for your staff, tenants or guests. It's that easy.
The convenience of wireless, the security of a hard wire
Everybody wants convenience, portability, and mobility. And in some buildings, such as offices and even multi-dwelling structures, that kind of flexibility is considered a must because workers or tenants today often access the Internet from different locations within their offices and homes. Over the past few years, wireless technology (which is based on carrying data by means of crowded radio frequencies) has become increasingly popular. But wireless systems can be fraught with security concerns. This is especially problematic for buildings with government or military functions. So how do you get the convenience of wireless without the risk?
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) is the answer. Anywhere there's an electrical receptacle, there's Internet access. The benefits of wireless with the security of a wired system: the best of both worlds.
Enabling and extending access - in a variety of structures
The
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) is ideally suited for a wide variety of users, but particularly in larger structures where its advantages provide a superior solution to wireless or traditional hardwired solutions.
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) unique approach means access to the Internet and other data communications in commercial- type structures where the cost, complexity and time required to install other solutions - either wired or wireless - is prohibitive.
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) solutions can replace traditional communications technologies, or extend their capabilities in a seamless interface with existing local area networks (LANs).
A natural fit for the hospitality industry
With the
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN), hotels can provide high-speed access to guest rooms, meeting areas and small convention centers without the hassle, cost, and disruption associated with other communications technologies. The service can be an instant revenue stream for hotels, which have the option of charging guests on a pay by use basis and post the charges to guest folio via our PMS interface. Hotels can pre-equip rooms with the PlugPlus Modem or provide it to guests at check-in. The guest gains instant Internet access by simply plugging the PlugPlus Modem into any electrical outlet in the room, and plugging the modem's Ethernet connection into their laptop. Hotels can utilize high-speed Internet access as a tool to attract and retain business travelers, or as an additional revenue opportunity from Internet-equipped guest rooms, meeting rooms and convention center booths. Installation can generally be accomplished in a single day for most 75 to 150- room hotels. The best part: no disruption to the hotel's guests or staff, since connections are made only at the building's electrical supply panels and the system utilizes existing electrical wiring.
Security and safety for government / military buildings
For older structures, such as schools, military bases and training facilities, or government agency offices,
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC)is a great option because there's no need to install new wiring - a boon in structures where the presence of asbestos or other environmental or construction obstacles is a concern. The PlugPlus Internet system means flexibility and scalability without the hassles and expense. And because
Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) is in effect, "hard-wired" (through existing electrical wiring), they are secure from outside intrusion unlike radio-based wireless communications options.
Cost-effective in apartment buildings
Apartment buildings, condominiums, and other multi-dwelling units offer their own special challenges because of geography, tenants may find themselves out of reach of traditional DSL service. Some live in historic structures or buildings whose sheer size precludes wiring them for economic reasons. With the PlugPlus Internet system, building developers and managers have a more cost-effective option to bring speedy data communications to their tenants. And the portability of the Worldroom Powerline Communication (PLC) and Wireless Access Network (WAN) Modem means that tenants can access the Internet from any room simply by moving and relocating the lightweight modem. The Internet is always on hand, wherever there's an electrical outlet.
