I manage Internet connectivity in some apartment complexes, office parks, dorms, etc. in the USA. Number of units is typically small (dozens). I have used ethernet, or Cisco Long Range Ethernet to reach the end customers. Last year, I was out-bid by a company putting in HPNA "switches" (1.1Mbps) over phone wiring.
There are a handful of no-name or Taiwanese companies that have been selling these switches for a while, but that market hasn't grown in a year.
Does anyone have an idea of whether HPNA is a viable alternative to mini DSLAM, 802.3-TL or Cisco LRE?
Thanks, Harv
