A SuperPod can be used as a router in the home and plugs directly into an ONT, modem or gateway. The SuperPod’s ethernet ports intelligently detect whether to go into router or bridge mode making deployment options simple and easy for a technician or customer self-install, and provide access to Plume’s Smart Home Services bundle instantaneously. A single SuperPod can be plugged directly into a modem to deliver 1 Gig speeds for fast and reliable internet or multiple SuperPods can be added as needed to provide whole-home coverage.

The pods enable the delivery of Plume’s offering:
