The PLC enables secure, high-speed, highly reliable communication over the existing low and medium voltage grid, while minimizing infrastructure and operational costs.
Ambient President and CEO John Joyce said PLC technology can be extended across the full Federal Communication Commission (FCC) band to provide a robust and secure communication channel.
”PLC is particularly suited to connect hard-to-reach or underground environments, such as underground vaults, meter rooms, or metal cabinets,” Joyce added.
”Furthermore, Ambient’s Smart Grid Node family supports multiple protocols such as DNP3 as well as local data aggregation, local applications and control providing connectivity to remote devices such as; meters or demand response equipment cost effectively."
Ambient’s Smart Grid Node family facilitates real-time data communication for multiple applications, in parallel, such as smart metering, distributed generation and storage, demand response, and distribution automation.
