Power Line Communications (PLC)

Power Line Communication (PLC) transforms existing power lines into a reliable communication network, enabling fast and cost-effective system deployment. Widely adopted in smart meters (Advanced Metering Infrastructure - AMI), home energy management systems (HEMS), building energy management systems (BEMS), and solar panel monitoring, PLC serves as a critical enabler of smart society infrastructure.

This versatile technology supports data transmission over both AC and DC power lines, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Our solutions feature optimized designs with PLC modems and line drivers, delivering robust performance and seamless integration.
