Existing utility-managed centralized grid
  • One-way communication infrastructure, built for centralized generation and distribution
  • Insufficient data capabilities, resulting in suboptimal energy distribution
  • Rigid, closed system that cannot be modified while in operation
  • Poor energy security and heightened grid vulnerability amplified by increasing voltage demands from electrification
Existing utility-managed centralized grid
  • Multi-directional communication, built to accommodate both centralized and decentralized generation
  • Dynamic load and generation balancing powered by high-bandwidth, real-time energy data, energy analytics, and predictive models
  • Open system accessible by third parties to modify the functionality of the grid to enable grid resilience
  • Highest level of security and grid resiliency without the dependence on third-party communication networks

Broadband over power lines (BPL) is a massive improvement over NB-PLC technology, and NB-PLC for energy sector will be replaced by BPL through the natural upgrade cycle

Three pie charts showing the market percentage of NB-PLC from 2018-2022
  • NB-PLC is the preferred technology for many global markets
  • Major utility alliances are standardizing the future generation of PLC technologies based on broadband over power lines
  • Broadband over power lines (BPL) enabled solutions represent the next generation in PLC technology and NB units will be replaced by BPL units throughout the natural upgrade cycle
