Back to $1.65...like I said. This stock is just hilarious.
Sorry, trader...I'm saying the light day is bad...extremely bad...the road show was this week. We are at the lows of TKOs lifetime. Yet, no buyers? Not good at all.
I thought you had left trader...haven't seen you on here for a few days. I know you talked of getting rid of half should we get down to these levels. It's good to know you are still around. I'm hoping that the support which I have continually said exists at $1.65 remains. I'm becoming less and less convinced daily that it will stay there. Lots of shares have traded hands at these levels. And, if we get one more piece of bad or delayed news, we will go down sharply.
Also, there are a lot of people reading my posts...my hate mail overflows daily. They tell me I'm on ignore, but still manage to reply with a private message about how I'm on ignore. Sort of funny, but whatever floats their boat.
Besides, everyone that has me on ignore is already convinced this is the stock of the 21st century and nothing I say can convince them otherwise. There are plenty of new visitors that need both sides of the story, which I'm trying to provide. Actually, as of late, I'm the only side, as it appears the cheerleaders have gone home.
This stock, I'm convinced, is in more and more trouble everyday.
This week there was presumably a concerted effort to sell TKO and its stock to institutions. There was even the long awaited road show supposedly taking place with various moneied investors.
But, despite the fact that TKO is at or near its lowest point EVER, it can't garner more than 50,000 shares traded in one whole day. That doesn't bode well for me if I decide to trade my whole position in one day. I probably would have to drag down the price to about $1.50 if I wanted to get out of all my shares.
TKO is in trouble. Look no further than the market's reaction to the story being told by RP and company this week. While the rest of the market soars, TKO flails uncontrollably. Big Trouble in Little Germantown, if you ask me.
You realize I am the only one reading your posts, right?
This might be the lightest trading day for TKO I have ever seen. Not good, but not bad. TKO is not the type of stock that would participate in a broad based market rally like yesterday (which was attributable to short covering and the free money that is continuing to be dished out in Japan, in my opinion).
This 1.65 area does seem to be the line in the sand. One big buyer could make this interesting.
Yep...back down to $1.67...here we go...ever play the game chutes and ladders...only in the TKO version, there are only step stools and long steep chutes.
Well, now that the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are all positive, we see TKO showings its true colors and sliding down once again. This stock is truly remarkable in its ability to withstand any positives from the overall market. It just keeps withering away while everyone else investing in other companies continue to stuff money into their mattresses.
In typical TKO fashion, we are starting to give back our giant four cent gain today. If the past few days are any indication, TKO will once again finish even or negative while the rest of the market goes green.
TKO is my Rudolph, the "red" nosed reindeer.
I see that TKO is still on the list of noncompliant companies with the AMEX...did the response get lost in the mail? I have an ingenious idea...leave the cronyism at the door, and perhaps you wouldn't run afoul of AMEX requirements. Just a suggestion.
This is pathetic. Everyone is just wasting their money in this stock while the market flies. How I wish my TKO money was placed somewhere else...hope others aren't making the same mistake as me. TKO can't even get a modicum of support from the usual suspects on I-Hub or Yahoo. In fact, the biggest cheerleaders over the past few years have ditched their TKO shares at its lowest point. Things look less and less promising each day.
It seems TKO is now promising to bring in $5M in the second quarter. What happens to the pps if they don't make it. I hate the thought.
From the HUGE volume today I can only surmise that RP and company have completed presenting their case to the various institutions without any success. 2 1/2 hours of trading and we are sitting at less than 20,000 shares. I guess the con job stops at people like me, as the people with the real money refuse to invest in the story.
And, none of them lived happily ever after.
Sputter, sputter, sputter. When will TKO have any news to share? When will RP do some work? When will the COO be hired? When will the 200 product be released? When will GE come to fruition? When will they finally address the overseas market? Why are they continually in delay mode?
Down, down, down.
Sputter, sputter, sputter
Dow and the S & P are at record highs...TKO is at record lows.
NICE
It's Friday now, but yesterday was Friday Eve!
Hmmmm,
which 'dog' is barking here?? To decide, is hard.. Is it the Steeldog or is it the Copperdog?? A TKO (knockout) jokers, we are..
Aarrpp..aarrpp..aarrpp!!!
ohmygosh pops...is it Friday already?--gheesh..no WONDER I am so darned tired..I left to run errands on Thursday, and just got home! hahahahha!
Waco, you are right about the lack of response. I myself enjoy my "Pepcid" moments without the extra commentary. I don't need to read additional flak thrown at our board, when I know we all are suffering pretty much the same right now. My hope, as I believe many of yours is, that in time, TKO will grow and we will gain, if not we move on. I only want information that will help direct me, encourage me, or get me in an investing mood! To all of you TKO posters who I respect, thank you very much for your patience during this "downturn."
Happy Friday eve!
The reason you are not getting under peoples skin is that almost everyone has you on "ignore". Why don't you just give up and go away? EPS is all that matters, and even in your ignorance you should appreciate that fact.
The one I have does not have the "$10,000 to $25,000 or whatever". More just a promo on the company, but definately a stock promotion piece from Segue Ventures.
TKO finished at the low of the day...only five cents above the 52-week low...tied with the previous 52 week low that none of you said we would touch, but which MLK so expertly predicted.
You are all welcome.
I hope all of you have much more money in other places as TKO is the ultimate let down in today's market environment...definitely not the place for any new money today.
Huey is it the same flyer I posted at MSHI board?? just curious
DOWN 2 CENTS? This is getting better by the minute. Glad most of my money isn't tied up here.
Of all days, TKO is DOWN 1 cent.
This stock is becoming a laughingstock. If they don't make the $5M in quarter 2 that they have been promising the street we will be down in the low 1s very quick.
I received the MST flyer today also, so I would assume that TKO gave the PR firm an address list. The flyer is well put together, although I have received plenty of these before that are never read. Not sure what impact it will have on the demand for the stock.
I assume also that the MN1 interview, several PRs this week, and the flyer are all part of a coordinated push to publicize the company. I assume they are specifically not mentioning TKO because the first thing people would do is look at TKO's performance.
Thank goodness the Dow is up 250 points and the Nasdaq 50 points as they have managed to pull TKO even for the day...can you imagine what will happen the next time the Dow and Nasdaq are in the red?
In typical end of day TKO fashion, we are getting ready to give up every single penny we gained, if not more. Sad sick company.
Imagine if TKO had not recently acquired Ethostream. If not, the last news of note coming from TKO would have been on June 6th. I don't count the CC which obviously was a big ball of yawn that produced nothing but a sixty cent drop in the share price.
Is TKO actually doing anything? How can they even pretend to have $5M in sales for the second quarter, yet not issue one single PR for over a month?
Does TKO even care that its shareholders are wasting their money holding on to their stock while the market goes gangbusters?
From the apparent comments of RP floating around on other message boards denigrating his shareholders, I'm thinking they don't care.
I've decided to look at this in a positive light, as TKO is the only thing keeping me in the X-mas spirit.
You see, my whole computer screen is green. Not very Christmasy like. But, then I see a tiny little blip...sort of like Rudolph's nose...it blinks at me incessantly...red, red, red.
It is TKO going down, while everything else I own makes me money.
So, to all you TKO heads...God bless us, everyone!!
I wonder if the people buying into TKO today are wishing they would have put the money into some decent company yesterday, before the market's explosion today. I'm guessing that is what the sellers of TKO are thinking...get out of this sinking ship with at least a little money and attempt to gain it back in this white hot market. So much for a summer swoon...those people must have been referring to TKO.
OT sort of RE: ETGP...just want to inform anyone who is looking at this company in a serious way--today there is a breakout---NOT because the company is worthy of a breakout--but because based on what I have just gotten in my email box..this looks like a pump and dump scheme that has been orchestrated for today....yup--a pump and dump.
$1.65. What will save us? GE is now a 2008 story, apparently. Where is the 200 product...since that apparently coincides with much of GE's business, I'm guessing TKO thinks the 200 product won't be available until 2008 as well...it was originally supposed to be ready over a year ago...or was that two years ago...the failures all seem to run together with TKO.
TKO down again. Could this be the swan song? Still on AMEX's list for noncompliant companies I see. Now they are expecting to make $5M this quarter? Yeah right. That won't happen
Wow...market up HUGE...TKO flounders...another day and another lost opportunity...again, TKO is my only stock not in the green. What a sad sick little company
I got one from FRT alert..Does it headline like:
MSHI: Poised To Slaughter Telecom Giants
I would agree that the product is competition for TKO in that they seem to have a similar product to SSI, however, that product by itself would not appear to compete well with a system that is networked through an IP capable backbone.
This is really an example of how TKO has put together a complete solution through SSI and Ethostream. They have all the hardware, software, and services to install and manage this gear for the hotels and other commercial residents; many of which don't want to bother with the technical stuff anyway.
I haven't looked at this company at all, so I admit I am not aware of any other services they provide...
Another email I got tonight--Competition for TKO it looks like.

""More on ETGP
I believe ETGP could definitely be the next hot energy play. No one knows about this company yet so I believe anyone who gets involved at these levels could be rewarded handsomely!!!
Imagine saving 25% off your energy bill each month. ETGP's thermostat and energy system is going to be the hottest home product in the years to come. I don't see why anyone won't use it.
ETGP understands how important it is for us to not waste energy.
Wasting energy not only impacts our environment but isn't cheap either! If energy isn't free, why should we waste it?
According to the Alliance to Save Energy in Washington, D.C., the average American household's energy bills are about $1,400 each year!
Companies like ETGP who focus on conserving energy are very undervalued in my opinion!
When we use more energy, we heavily rely on coal, oil, and gas. The less energy we use allows us to preserve these natural resources.
ETGP realizes that the fossil fuels we obtain energy from are the leading cause for global warming!
In 2000, the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide were 367 parts per million. Compare this to around 280 parts per million in 1800. Scientists believe that by 2100, which is less than a century away, we will see levels as high as 970 parts per million!
ETGP is in an industry that does not want to see us hit levels this high!
ETGP's philosophy is based on the simple premise that it’s far less expensive to save energy than it is to generate it.
We already use so much energy with our computers, our dvd players, and our cell phone chargers. Why waste more energy on heating and cooling our homes when we don't have to?
ETGP's SensorStat® 2000x can provide 25-35% average reduction in energy use!
ETGP's SensorStat® 2000x is designed to reduce energy waste by taking control of the HVAC or thermostat to automatically set the temperature to energy saving levels (setbacks) while a room is unoccupied.
To determine if a room is occupied, ETGP's SensorStat® 2000x uses the proven logic of monitoring the status of entry doors (open/close) plus movement detected by its flush mounted PIR sensor. Once occupancy has been determined, the automatic setback feature engages the pre-programmed energy and comfort control functions.
When ETGP's SensorStat® 2000x senses that the room is not occupied, it takes control of the room thermostat to turn off the HVAC, allowing the temperature in the room to drift to a pre-selected higher or lower point to save energy. If the room remains unoccupied for more than 15 hours, the temperature is set back even deeper until the room is once again occupied.
ETGP's SensorStat® DDC electronically controls HVAC systems to improve room comfort and increase energy efficiency through occupancy-based setbacks. When upgraded, the SensorStat® DDC provides ongoing operational input via innPULSE®, a Windows® based software system.
ETGP's SensorStat® DDC features a new slim-line housing designed to be visually and functionally attractive. It is easy to install and very affordable.
It’s a tremendous waste of energy and money to heat, cool and light an empty classroom.
ETGP's system provides school boards and school administrations with an invaluable tool to monitor and manage their energy consumption.
Hotel and resort owners know that unoccupied rooms and suites cost money to heat and cool.
ETGP's system provides the hospitality industry with an invaluable tool to monitor and manage energy consumption.
If the guest is out of the room for an extended period, the system turns itself on and off periodically to re-circulate the air to keep the room from becoming stale.
In the Hospitality industry, hotel properties with 300 or more rooms are ideal candidates for ETGP's energy management program. The latest figures indicate that there are more than 55,000 hotels comprising in excess of 5 million rooms in the United States. Of these, at least 1,600 of the hotels have 300 or more rooms – accounting for over 1 million rooms or 20% of the market!
Occupants of apartment buildings, condos, and townhouse complexes are often out of their units for the entire day, sometimes leaving windows and patio doors wide open.
ETGP has a demanding market. In the US alone, contracts with energy management companies to implement energy reduction strategies grew from $695 million in 1998 to more than $7.5 billion in 2002.
I can't imagine how big ETGP could become considering there are so many hotels and schools in the U.S.!
ETGP recently announced that they have negotiated a preferred relationship agreement with Onity, a United Technologies Corporation company, for the introduction of their cutting edge energy management technology into the multi-unit residential marketplace.
ETGP President and CEO Ed Herbert said, "Onity has a proven 15-year track record in the hospitality industry, with installations in over 250,000 hotel rooms in 110 countries. Their solid reputation is the reason we chose to work with the Onity team on the modifications which now allow us to open up the residential sector to this remarkable technology."""

THAT is interesting! Perhaps they got your address from a TKO list of shareholders...hmmmmmm...now, on my stocks where I receive dividends, I often receive stuff from those companies...annual reports, Q's, proxies for my vote around annual meeting time, that sort of thing..but those are HUGE companies, with big budgets for their shareholders. I don't have to 'seek out' the info...if, in fact, MST got your address from the TKO list of hsareholders, which they had a right to do , especially when they were a part of TKO...then that is a good sign that MST is more geared to keeping the shareholders informed, like those other companies I referred to. (FYI, I get an email EVERY SINGLE DAY, from ASN..,I don;t even BOTHER reading ANY of the message boards. come to think of it, I have not read a msg board for Morgan Stanley, or Altria, or GE, or JP Morgan..blah blah--cause they notify me of stuff without my asking...maybe MST intends to emulate that?
SO...what was the meat of the info you received?
No not one share,it came straight from Jenkintown PA.
Do you already have shares of MST?
So did anyone else get a MST investment flier in the mail today?
LONG $ STRONG
OK--that is good...and IF Q3 produces revs of say.....double THAT--meaning over Q2 this year....as we are all expecting it to do, if we are still assuming a $25 mill goal for the year...then SURELY someone will notice, ceterus parabus, and the stock will finally move forward instead of stagnate. Right?
So, does anyone believe that, PERHAPS, Q3 will reflect a profit?
RE: the lack of cash, MST did go down a bit today, but based on that interview, yesterday, it sounds as though they are moving forward nicely...although in a VERY competitive market. TKO holds what...18 mill shares of MST?
If TKO sold a mill tomorrow, they would have enough to get them through a month and then some, if for some reason, TKO ran out of cash----which leads to my thinking that there will be NO need for another PP that only screws the heck out of us shareholders. RIGHT? OR, IF there was a parting of the ways between MST and TKO, whereby the TKO shares were purchased by MST, somehow...or another company....then TKO would experience an influx of moola that way, as well. RIGHT?
Am I losing it here. I read that the MST pump was paid for by TKO? I think it was $80,000 and more if they pump MST again. RP is President of MST? Not a mention of TKO in the pump? I am surprized with TKO looking like it can head to pocket change they would spend that kind of money. Did anyone else read this?
Just for sh*ts and giggles, I went back to the 2nd qtr statements from last year, released on 8/9/06. There was revenue of $1.152M for second quarter, and $3.096M for the six months ended 6/30/06. There for, even at the $3-4 million that was forecast in the CC, we will be looking at 300% growth. I understand that 300% growth of a small amount is still a small amount, but this is the stuff that can at least draw attention from more investors. It may set up for a good story on how TKO has matured to the point of executing on some of the business that has been in development over the past two years.
Is TKO still on the Amex list of noncompliant companies? I believe so. What is taking so long?
Don't you just love how this stock always gives back any gains made during the day at the end of the session. PAINFUL!!
Congress eyes private equity, hedge fund giants By Kevin Drawbaugh
56 minutes ago
The new kings of Wall Street -- as the managers of booming private equity and hedge funds have been dubbed in the business press -- came under unaccustomed scrutiny on Wednesday before the U.S. Congress.
In three separate hearings on Capitol Hill, lawmakers asked whether these secretive and wealthy financiers pay enough taxes and whether the Bush administration does enough to protect the economy and investors from them.
Rapid hedge fund growth could pose risks to financial stability if risk management practices are not strengthened, Federal Reserve Board Governor Kevin Warsh said at a hearing before the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.
Bills have been introduced in the Senate and House that would raise tax rates on both private equity and hedge fund leaders, many of whom are billionaires but are largely out of the public eye.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus said at a separate hearing on tax issues he wants to find out "whether some people who are earning great wealth are also avoiding their full and proper share of the burden of taxation."
The Montana Democrat added: "There is also a good argument that the fund managers who are becoming publicly traded partnerships are stretching the law."
The Finance Committee hearing focused on "carried interest," or the 20 percent cut of profits above targeted returns typically kept by senior partners of private equity and hedge funds on major transactions.
A bill already introduced in the House would raise carried interest taxes to as much as 35 percent, the top income tax rate, from the present capital gains tax rate of 15 percent.
Backers of the House bill -- including powerful House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat -- say it would close a loophole that lets a fortunate few dodge paying income taxes on carried interest.
A senior U.S. Treasury Department official urged caution on possibly changing taxation of hedge funds and private equity.
"We must be cautious about making significant changes to partnership tax rule that have worked successfully to promote and support entrepreneurship for many decades," said Treasury Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Eric Solomon.
A House Financial Services Committee hearing looked into systemic economic risks that may be posed by hedge funds.
Committee Chairman Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, said at the hearing, "We're not rushing to regulate, but regulation shouldn't be a bad word."
Frank asked Bush administration officials whether Congress should pass a law requiring all hedge funds to retain documents.
"We would have to be very careful with something like that," responded Erik Sirri, director of market regulation at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sirri said that additional costs could force some hedge funds to move abroad.
The Fed's Warsh said the best way to limit systemic risks is to strengthen market discipline among large, global, commercial and investment banks.
Later on Wednesday, a hearing before the House domestic policy subcommittee will focus on small investors' exposure to hedge fund risk and the recent $4.13 billion initial public stock offering of private equity firm Blackstone Group.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the Ohio Democrat who chairs the subcommittee, unsuccessfully asked federal regulators to delay Blackstone's IPO last month pending further examination.
Blackstone was the first high-profile private equity firm to bring in investors as a publicly traded partnership (PTP).
Fearing that a wave of similar IPOs could erode the tax base, Baucus and Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley have introduced a bill that would more than double the tax rate on PTPs. Vermont Democratic Rep. Peter Welch has introduced a similar bill in the House.
(Additional reporting by Karey Wutkowski and David Lawder)
So now GE is a 2008 story? Like I said, something is fishy with that particular subplot
Regardless of what you think it will do the the surprise factor, if TKO can get close to $5 million in the second quarter, that will have to at least start to spark some interest by people who have been watching. $3-4M is what was put out publically, so that is the bogie. Obviously, the true colors will not be shown by one good quarter, but it should keep the ones who are in already around for a while longer.
I don't recall last year's total revenue, but I am guessing a $4+ quarter will be close to half of it. Year over year comparison for 2nd quarter will be strong. As always, it will then turn to follow through with 3rd qtr.
What he shared on the board, Isaiah, was what his broker friend, who spoke with RP and MP, were told by RP and MP....this guy is merely passing on the meat of a presentation GIVEN by TKO on their bicycle ride to the tutes.
He did not 'make it up', and it is not bashing--the info came 'straight from the horses mouth' (RP).
Remember, RP is trying to get the tutes to invest money in TKO.
So perhaps, once again, embellishment was deemed necessary...hopefully the number is reachable.
I do not like what this guy is trying to do because they never said 5 million in CC they said 3-4 million. He is trying to raise expectations so if it comes in less there will be disappointment. By putting this out he is also trying to take away any element of surprise which is what this company needs
Copied from the Yahoo board:
report (Not rated) 12 minutes ago ........heresay.............
It is accurate that RP was in Richmond yesterday.
My update from broker friend was that an optimistic tale was told with real work occurring at a reasonable pace with follow up monthly revenue streams being created by Ethostream.
Installations are supposedly occurring at a rapid pace in EDS and TSA areas. GE is alive but is more of a 2008 potential. Trump type work is still occurring but that also is more of a revenue stream model than a big sale eevent.
The number I was quoted for Q2 sales was below the $5 million number but reasonably rapid acceleration is supposed to occur. (Please note the massive use of "suppose") Q3 and q4 should (supposedly) be enough to help the stock valuation
............now opinion..............
After the last CC and to not simply rant against the past (and of course to stay in good graces with the Major, one of the cutest cartoon women I know) I decided to accept that TKO has earned another last chance (I love country music) to perform
Similar to my last rant, I did hear (second hand) some response from RP regarding disgruntled sharholders that went along the lines "not able to be concerned with what a lot of folks gossipping on the internet think and we're just moving forward"
That's just close enough to the "damn the little people" attitude from the CC that absolutely enraged me to reignite me a bit.
When your stcok goes from $6 to a buck sixty-five there is some accountability due. Especailly when money is being made in miners, shippers, energy, telecommunications etc.
Just a simple, "we have over promised", or "our implementation and acceptance has taken loner than we expected" (or something similar) goes so much further than blaming the people that invested (=trusted) in your dream.
I still find that attitude offesnsive.
Oh, I did ask my buddy if RP came across as a dyed hair out of touch buffoon and he answered "not at all"
Then again this guy has been my friend for 30 years so what the heck does he know about character.
I ain't selling but I ain't buying either. There'll be plenty of time for buying when performance kicks in.
Hunka Hunka and best wishes to all.

Telkonet’s patented powerline communications (PLC) systems – the Telkonet iWire System and next generation 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 – use a building’s existing internal electrical wiring to enable Internet connectivity throughout an entire building, converting electrical outlets into high-speed data ports. This is an ideal solution for properties that are not wired with CAT-5 or where CAT-5 is cost-prohibitive.
The EthoStream Gateway Server (EGS) product line of gateway devices, which are developed in-house, deliver wired or wireless high-speed Internet access, integrating easily with any combination of WAN connections. The EGS products range from a cost-effective gateway for limited use applications to a feature-rich, dual-WAN, scalable gateway for full-service properties.
Telkonet’s energy management systems, Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) and Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy (NTSE), reduce in-room energy consumption by controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) usage based on occupancy. By eliminating unnecessary heating and cooling of vacant rooms, TSE typically reduces energy consumption by 30% or greater.
Telkonet’s proactive support center brings quality of service to a new level with its dedicated, in-house employees, 24/7/365 support, and integrated proactive monitoring and management tools that put property management in control. By integrating the EthoStream Gateway Server and the web-based Telkonet CENTRAL, our in-house support team has real-time visibility into a property’s HSIA usage and data, as well as ISP status.
Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (TSE) controls HVAC usage and improves energy efficiency by adjusting and maintaining a room’s temperature based on occupancy, using a combination of occupancy sensors, intelligent programmable thermostats or packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) controllers. TSE eliminates wasteful heating and cooling of vacant rooms without compromising an occupant’s comfort based on our patented Recovery Time™ technology.
Building on the proven capabilities of the TSE system and incorporating Telkonet's unique Recovery Time™ technology, our new Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy (NTSE) advances intelligent HVAC building control with a flexible, resilient and low-cost energy management platform. NTSE utilizes a ZigBee wireless IEE802.15.4 “mesh” network, where each device functions as a wireless repeater and enables energy management thermostats to communicate with each other and aggregate communications up to a single master NTSE Gateway Server on site.

Its key monitoring and analysis features ensure optimum energy savings, giving property owners the tools to identify and implement energy savings, providing total visibility and detailed data about a property's HVAC system and its energy consumption, together with real-time, instant remote management capabilities.
Key features and benefits of NTSE
Telkonet’s proprietary, patented powerline communications (PLC) products harness a building’s internal electrical wiring to form an IP network, turning power outlets into data ports, while leaving the electrical functionality unaffected. Telkonet’s PLC systems – the Telkonet iWire System and the 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 – represent a quick, economical, and non-disruptive way to achieve high-speed Internet connectivity throughout a building. Telkonet’s PLC systems offer the hard-wired security and reliability of a CAT-5 cabled network, but without the cost, physical disturbance and business disruption of wiring CAT-5. For properties looking to provide wireless coverage, Telkonet’s systems can be used to feed WiFi access points, which can be connected quickly and simply to any power outlet.
Series 5 Comparison “With 209 sites and limited numbers of IT technicians, we needed a reliable, plug-and-play system that was easy to install, maintain and operate. With Telkonet’s solution, we demonstrated that our own IT staff and contract electricians could install the system…”
Steve Custer, Supervisor CCTV/LAN Networking and A.V. Repair, Hillsborough County School District (SDHC)

PLC Product Components
Telkonet’s systems comprise a set of compact building blocks – the Telkonet Gateway, which connects via a router to the site’s external broadband feed, and a Telkonet Coupler that interfaces with a building’s electrical distribution panel. A further unit, the Telkonet eXtender™, can be connected to the Telkonet Coupler to provide additional reach for multi-building sites. To access the Internet, a user simply connects their laptop into a Telkonet iBridge unit.
Telkonet Gateway™ | The "brain" of the system, the Telkonet Gateway converts IP connections to a PLC signal and distributes PLC to the Telkonet Coupler. Through a web or CLI interface, the Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the other Telkonet components. Each Telkonet Gateway supports up to 63 Telkonet eXtenders, 1,023 Telkonet iBridges (users) and up to 4,096 Ethernet endpoints. | |
Telkonet Couplers | The Telkonet Coupler takes the PLC signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects that signal into the in-building electrical wiring. Installation of the Telkonet Coupler requires a licensed electrician to meet National Electric Code (NEC) and local electric code standards. Also comes in a model with integrated disconnect switch. | |
Telkonet eXtender™ | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional reach and scalability for networks that cannot be properly covered by a single Telkonet Gateway or multi-building environments. It can be used with wireless radio or wireline networks. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ | The Telkonet iBridge enables a user to connect a computer or IP device to the PLC network. It contains a "test" function to determine the PLC signal strength and has an RJ45 user port connection. |
Telkonet Series 5
Setting unprecedented performance levels for security, speed, QoS and capacity, the Telkonet Series 5 200 Mbps system takes PLC to a new level as a viable networking option for high performance, critical applications, including digital video surveillance, implementations in the utility substation environment, and harsh outdoor commercial installations. Telkonet Series 5 delivers a range of significant performance advances, including the following.

Telkonet Gateway™ – AG5 | The Telkonet Gateway is a remotely manageable network interface that converts Ethernet connections to a power line carrier signal and transmits the signal to the Telkonet Coupler. The Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the Telkonet Series 5 via a web browser or Telnet command line interface. | |
Telkonet Couplers – MVC-200 and DPC-200 | The Telkonet Coupler is wired to the AC or DC low-voltage bus and connected to the Telkonet Gateway with a coaxial cable. The Telkonet Coupler takes the power line carrier signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects the signal into the AC or DC electrical wiring. The Telkonet Coupler is also available with an integrated disconnect switch (coupler breaker). | |
Telkonet eXtender™ – AX5 | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional power line carrier signal reach and scalability for networks that cannot be covered by a single Telkonet Gateway. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ – AB5 | The Telkonet iBridge is wired to the AC or DC supply at each point requiring a communications interface. The Telkonet iBridge recovers the power line carrier signal and converts it back into an Ethernet or serial connection for the devices or applications. It contains a test function to determine the power line carrier signal strength. |
