During the late 19th and 20th Centuries, Andrew Carnegie invested $56 million of his own personal wealth in building over 2,000 libraries throughout the English-speaking world. The challenge was to provide separate, secure broadband systems for public and private usage for library staff and patrons without compromising an historic 100-year-old building. Motorola's Powerline Multi-Unit (MU) was the ideal solution for the library because of its ability to convert broadband signals of any kind, DSL, T1, E1, cable and satellite, into the HomePlug protocol. No construction was required during system installation and patrons and library staff were able to continue activities without experiencing any inconvenience.
