1. Internet Access Technology

2. Powerline Broadband History
Internet access service through existing power lines is often marketed as broadband over power lines (BPL), also known as power-line Internet or powerband.
A computer (or any other device) would need only to plug a BPL modem into any outlet in an equipped building to have high-speed Internet access. International Broadband Electric Communications (IBEC), a provider of BPL Internet access in the USA, ceased BPL operations in January 2012

3. Definition
Broadband over power line (BPL) is a technology that allows data to be transmitted over utility power lines.
BPL is also sometimes called Internet over power line (IPL), power line communication (PLC) or power line telecommunication (PLT).

4. How it works?
With broadband over power lines, or BPL, you can plug your computer into any electrical outlet in your home and instantly have access to high-speed Internet.
By combining the technological principles of radio, wireless networking, and modems, developers have created a way to send data over power lines and into homes at speeds between 500 kilobits and 3 megabits per second (equivalent to DSL and cable).

6. Advantage
Disadvantage
Flexible – single PBL modem support multiple computers in a household via traditional routers and wireless access points.
high broadband speed - up to 200Mbps (theoretically)
the infrastructure is capable of delivering data, voice and video services to end user without any degradation or loss in quality.
 no interruption to the power supply by separating the frequency used for power and broadband.
Limited usage – plugged into any electrical socket
all user needs is a BPL “modem” (PLC modem)

7. BPL service is an alternative technology that is beneficial to Malaysia broadband industry while supporting MSC Malaysia and MyICMS 886 to help revolutionize the ICT industry in Malaysia
Austria, Australia, New Zealand experienced

8. Cellular
A cellular network or mobile network is a wireless network distributed over land areas called cells.

9. Generation
Roughly every 10 years new mobile phone technology and infrastructure involving a change in the fundamental nature of the service, non-backwards-compatible transmission technology, higher peak data rates, new frequency bands, wider channel frequency bandwidth in Hertz becomes available. These transitions are referred to as generations. The first mobile data services became available during the second generation (2G).

10. data rates on peak or maximum rates, end users will typically experience lower data rates.
Now, what is 4G LTE?  LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. It’s a term used for the particular 4G protocol that delivers the fastest mobile Internet experience. Some experts even refer to it as “true 4G.” A 4G LTE network is therefore one that operates at the leading edge of speed and reliability.

12. Factor of speed limitation
The size of a cell can vary according to the number of users that have to be served in a certain area and the amount of traffic per user.
If there is much traffic in an area the cell size will be smaller than in rural areas.

13. Advantage
Disadvantage
No Land Line Required
No Repetitive Software Installation
Endless Mobile Benefits - can be used nearly anywhere.
Network Problems
Cost - more expensive than DSL, The availability of affordable service depends on where a person lives. There are less choices in remote areas.
