There is strong demand right now for high-speed Internet access in the Hospitality and Multi- Dwelling markets and the Telkonet solution is fast and easy to install at a price that is very compelling." Telkonet's PlugFast Terminal can be used as a stand-alone solution within a residence, or it may be used in conjunction with a PlugFast Gateway as a part of Telkonet's solution for the commercial market. The core focus is High-Speed Internet distribution over the electrical power lines for the commercial and multi-dwelling residential markets. The Company has designed a suite of products to address the needs of office buildings, hotels, schools, shopping malls, and commercial buildings. Telkonet's products provide connectivity over the existing electrical wiring and do not require the costly installation of additional wiring, or major disruption of business activity. In many situations the Telkonet system can be implemented more quickly and less expensively than adding dedicated wiring or installing a wireless system. The Telkonet PlugFast family of Internet access products offers a viable and cost effective alternative to the challenges of hardwiring and wireless LANs. This solution set is comprised of two products, the PlugFast Gateway and the PlugFast Terminal. The Telkonet PlugFast Gateway and Terminal are aimed at applications such as apartments, hotels and motels, and the SME market.
