Seems to be an ad for a product? W Nowicki (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate: certainly using other serial protocols to create point-to-point Internet Protocol transport links is useful. I was involved with one myself in the 1980s. See Point-to-Point Protocol for example. But this just seems one of many, not very notable.

I can make no sense of the diagram. It just shows a bunch of waves going down some kind of cable with buzzwords. Does not seem to have anything to do with any kind of "protocol". Not even sure if the “Conductive Media” technology is supposed to be a joke, or is serious? Of course another word for "conductive media" is "wire". It is hardly notable to send data on a wire.

Original creator of the article was User:Pcntechnology who never edited any other articles except adding a link to the company that claims the service mark on this, PCN Technology, Inc.

No citations or references given, just four raw urls. First is an ad for the "Wayne Connect IP-485" which seems the actual product name. Second is an advertorial for the Wayne Connect on a trade web site for convenience stores. Third link is dead, but seems a reprint of the "Wayne" press release. Last one is a blog with a posting that promotes the "Wyane". W Nowicki (talk) 18:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps should also add that a search finds a sailboat with model 485 by the Island Packet Yachts company named IP-485 that gets more coverage. W Nowicki (talk) 18:25, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:INDY (no independent reliable sources) and WP:RS (the cited sources all appear to be press releases). Richwales (talk · contribs) 03:10, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The figure is nonsense, and how do you get 100 MB/s Ethernet data over an RS 485 link? --Wtshymanski (talk) 05:07, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
