GEN4-BPL FOR SMART CITIES
Smarter applications demand faster communications. Gen4-BPL is the answer.
FINALLY. A SIMPLER, SMARTER APPROACH TO IIoT COMMUNICATIONS.
Now you can build bigger networks, add more intelligence, and secure it all—using your existing wireline infrastructure. Gen4-BPL overcomes cost and performance challenges in Industrial IoT applications by delivering blazing-fast megabit data rates over powerlines, coax, and twisted-pair. So you can design smarter systems and deploy them with ease.
Gen4-BPL is a highly integrated SoC (System-on-Chip) combining the Physical (PHY), Media-Access-Control (MAC), and Analog-Front-End (AFE). It includes high precision A/D, D/A data converters, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), bandpass filter, DC-DC converters, and line driver in a single compact package. This enables it to deliver speeds of up to 500Mbps at the PHY layer, and reach distances of several kilometers. Gen4-BPL’s on-board networking algorithm offers plug-and-play simplicity and free topology over any type of new or existing wiring infrastructure.
