IEEE1901 Access Advantages Performance: High throughput ( > 500kbps/endpoint) Low latency (< 100ms)

Reliable and Robust: Avoids noisy and difficult environment below 1MHz 917 OFDM tones Redundancy due to dynamic routing Redundancy due to automatic HE selection

Most cost efficient smart grid communication Low hardware cost for full IP node

Low cost due to compact signal coupling Low operational cost
