ACN has conducted successful field trials using its Cognitive BPL technology over the medium and low voltage grid of the Services Industriels of Neuchâtel.
The goal of the EU-sponsored project POWERNET is to implement and validate the Cognitive Broadband over Power Lines (CBPL) access technology under real world conditions. The results of the project will accelerate the deployment of power line communications.
The contribution of ACN entitled “ Cognitive Broadband over Power Line (CBPL): A Techno-Economic Analysis” has been well received at the 2nd Powerline Communication (PLC) World Asia 2005 conference in Kuala Lumpur. Several utilities have showed interest to run field trials with the new CBPL technology.
ACN announced a technological breakthrough: the company’s new Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) technology allows data communication with a data rate of up to 300 Mbps over the in-house electrical wiring. High speed data transfer between a PC and several high definition TVs (HDTV) becomes therefore possible.
