I've worked with this technology before. We are talking short life like 8 Track. It's a neat concept to modulate the existing electric power to carry the internet signal. There is a transformer that modulates the electric signal and then there is another transformer that filters out the 60 hz leaving just the signal. And thats what you plug into.

I never did like the idea of plugging my network card into the 110 v outlet, that takes alot of trust. And then you have the problem of RFI (radio frequency interference). The modulated electric signal will insert itself into any AM radio in the vicinity. And I listen to alot of AM radio.

It'll be obselete once wireless gets secured. ( I think )

I find the price odd considering they just finished 40 square miles in Tempe,AZ. for 2 mil.

Since you know about this technology - can you tell me, will it work to provide an intercom for an old apartment building that is currently using telephones for doorbells and intercoms?

I've had mixed results with wireless, certain construction materials seem to block the signal. There's also the security issue, which I'm not sure they'll ever work out.

I'm considering offering installation of the Telkonet system through my electrical company, but could use some input from anyone who has actually used it.

Anyone?
