Kansas City Power & Light Energizes Network With Motorola's PTP 600 Series Fixed Broadband Solution

The large, licensed 6 GHz wireless systems used to monitor geographically disperse physical infrastructures are aging. Their analog technology, carrying transmissions that are increasingly digital, won't adapt to applications such as web-based remote monitoring. However, the cost to migrate to licensed 6 GHz digital networks can be prohibitive, and bridging a new digital link to an old analog one is risky. Many companies, like Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L), are discovering a powerful, cost-effective, unlicensed underbuild solution.
