The power line communication (PLC) modem IC delivers long distance and secured communication ensuring information is collected accurately in a speedy manner in both AC and DC lines. The PLC modem IC conforms to many international standards including G3-PLC and PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution (PRIME). There is a rich development environment including evaluation boards and software available for users to jump-start their evaluation. In addition to smart meters, the PLC modem IC is also suitable for a range of applications including HVAC, lighting control, submersible pump, and more.
Sophisticated and robust communication algorithm adapted to the environment to achieve using a high-performance DSP running at 276MHz
CPU/DSP dual-core architecture delivers flexible support for an array of power line communication protocols and multiple frequency bands used globally
AES-128 hardware encryption engine implements high-level communication security
The G3-Alliance is dedicated to advancing two cutting-edge technologies: G3-Hybrid and G3-PLC. These technologies are specifically designed to meet the growing communication demands of smart grids and IoT applications across various industries. By offering reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions, G3-Hybrid and G3-PLC provide a strong foundation for modern communication infrastructures.
The PRIME Alliance (PRIME = PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution) is focused on the development of a new open, public and non-proprietary telecom solution which will support not only smart metering functionalities but also the progress towards the Smart Grid. Power line communications is the most suitable and natural technology to provide the needed telecoms performance, even in complex underground electricity grids.
