Benefits Of Attending Broadband Over Powerline (BPL) 2006
In 2005 Google, Goldman Sachs and the Hearst Corporation combined $100 million to invest in Broadband Over Powerline (BPL). Since then we have seen a shift towards large-scale deployment of BPL - are we finally reaching the crest of the wave?
Despite the surge in large-scale BPL deployments, a number of questions must still be on your mind:
How is the business case for core applications alongside commercial BPL growing?
Is the development of WiFi, WiMax and other alternative technologies providing you with even more opportunities via 'combination systems'?
How will you identify when the time is right?
Core applications vs. commercial roll out: which is best for you?
IQPC is delighted to announce the 3rd Annual Broadband Over Powerline conference which has been designed with you in mind to ensure that you are provided with all the answers you need to decide the best BPL strategy for your organisation and guarantee you are fully prepared.
