NEW COMMUNICATIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR TODAY’S SMART CITIES Higher data rates Support more nodes Longer range IP-Based Fast Standards Multi-source Interresponse based operable times Build Faster LON Networks Security at every node Low deployment cost

EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES REQUIRE DIFFICULT TRADEOFFS SERIAL WIRELESS Long range, but slow and limited nodes Easy to deploy, but range is an issue POWERLINE (Narrowband) ETHERNET Lowest deployment cost, but slow and unreliable Build Faster LON Networks Very fast, but cost can be prohibitive

THE NEW HIGH-SPEED NETWORK In 2017, Lon. Mark adopted HD-PLC as the new standard for high-speed wireline communications. Build Faster LON Networks

ADVANTAGES OF HD-PLC 011 001 110 Megabit Data Rates Ranges Up to Several km Up to 1024 Nodes Crypto-Strong Encryption IP-Based Mesh Networking Over ANY Wire Build Faster LON Networks

HD-PLC LEAPS PAST OTHER TECHNOLOGIES BB PLC Range Multi-hop enables HD-PLC to cover the same range as RS-485 RS 485 NB PLC HD-PLC Ethernet (100 Base) 9. 6 k 100 k 2 M 28 M 100 M 125 M G. hn/HPAV 2 Ethernet (1000 Base) 250 M Freq. [Hz] This chart shows how HD-PLC stacks up against other wireline technologies. With multi-hop technology, HD-PLC is able to deliver broadband speeds over the long distances one normally expects to find in only low-speed approaches like RS-485. Build Faster LON Networks

OVERCOMES LONGSTANDING PLC CHALLENGES • Variations in time, frequency and location Traditionally, it has been difficult to achieve fast, reliable communications in the severe conditions that characterize powerlines. Level Narrowband PLC Noise power distribution between 10 k. Hz to 130 k. Hz is 30 -40 d. B stronger than signals above 2 MHz Broadband PLC HD-PLC • Background noise • Impulsive noise Noise • Frequency-selective interference • Group delays 30 d.
