The "Huawei PLC-IoT Ecological Alliance" initiated by Huawei was officially established in Dongguan on Thursday with 73 initial members.
PLC-IoT (Power Line Carrier over Internet of Things) power line carrier IoT technology is the Internet of Things technology for mid-band PLC power line carrier communication.
Public information shows that Power Line Carrier-PLC communication is a special communication method that uses power line as an information transmission medium for voice or data transmission.
Power lines are generally divided into high, medium and low categories in the field of power carrier. Usually high voltage power lines refer to voltage levels of 35kV and above, medium voltage power lines refer to 10kV voltage levels, and low voltage distribution lines refer to 380 / 220V subscriber lines.
Huawei stated that it applied PLC technology to IoT scenarios and deeply integrated with PLC-IoT technology through IPv6, multi-mode communication, edge computing and other capabilities to achieve high-speed, reliable, real-time, long-distance transmission of data on power line media.
Huawei PLC-IoT Ecological Alliance aims at "openness, innovation, and win-win", and also released the "PLC-IoT Industry Development White Paper", which systematically discusses the PLC-IoT technology architecture and technical advantages, typical application scenarios, and ecological cooperative development models And so on.
