Motorola announces that Swisscom has signed a distribution agreement to deploy mT2a PowerBroadband system in partner hotels across Europe and North America. The mT2a system has been already field-proven by Swisscom in more than 18,000 guestrooms across 10 countries. The mT2a product line was chosen for its ability to maximize the communications experience of hotel guests while minimizing considerably the operation costs.

The mT2a PowerBroadband system is distinguished by the m2 Wallplate which directly snaps on over existing telephone jacks in hotel guestrooms. No additional wiring or rewiring is required. All power and broadband modules are contained within the small Wallplate eliminating the requirement for separate broadband modems and power supplies. Hotels especially like the reduced clutter and clean appearance of the "no box" solution.

The mT2a Master Switch provides unprecedented performance to each endpoint. Delivering over 50 Mbps of bandwidth to each wallplate with support for application-level QoS and VLANs, the system has been specifically designed to handle a "quad play" of converged services such as high-speed Internet access, high definition IPTV streams, voice-over-IP phones, and Wi-Fi access points -- all over a single in-building telephone line.
