Telkonet to Deliver Broadband to Ameren Customers in the Midwest
Telkonet Inc. (Germantown, Maryland, U.S.) has partnered with Ameren Energy Communications and River City Internet Group (RCIG; Creve Coeur, Missouri, U.S.) to deliver broadband Internet access to multidwelling unit facilities (MDUs) in the Ameren utility companies' Missouri and Illinois service territories. RCIG will provide the Internet signal to the buildings, Internet backhaul service, business management software, account setup, network implementation, monitoring and maintenance, 24/7 technical support and customer care, and hosting and e-mail services.
Telkonet will deliver Internet access within the buildings using its broadband over powerline (BPL) platform, which enables Internet and data access over a building's internal electrical wiring. The in-building BPL platform, which can be installed within days, delivers broadband speeds of 6 Mbps, significantly faster than cable or phone lines.
