Point-to-multipoint (PMP) communication refers to communication that is accomplished through a distinct and specific form of one-to-many connections, offering several paths from one single location to various locations. Point-to-multipoint is generally abbreviated as PTMP, P2MP or PMP. PMP communication is commonly used in telecommunications.
PMP is usually used for establishing private enterprise connectivity to offices in remote locations, long-range wireless backhaul solutions for various sites, and last-mile broadband access. As such, it is widely used in IP telephony and wireless Internet by means of gigahertz radio frequencies.
