Will Commercialize Industry's First Fully Adaptable, Self Configuring Power Line Network Solutions
Singapore, October 22, 2012 - Lower the cost of smart meter installation and maintenance and improving the reliability of data communications across the power grid, gridComm Pte Ltd , today announced its formation. gridComm is a unique startup company that results from spin out of team and product capability from power line communications semiconductor company Semitech Semiconductor. This combined with gridComm founder-developed software IP and modules, results in an innovative smart grid communications approach that is the industry's first fully adaptable, self configuring power line network solutions.
To meet requirements for reduced smart meter installation cost, improved reliability and improved data throughput, gridComm's approach is to implement innovative, self configuring, adaptive network software that uses gridComm's existing communications adaptation approach. The GC2200 PLC device and GC8100 module enables real time changes to redundancy, modulation approach, frequencies and amplitudes to adapt to changing noise on the power line.
Electronic noise makes communications over the power grid difficult, especially in China where the power grid is particularly noisy. gridComm addresses this with the world's most reliable PLC solutions (combining PLC device and networking software) for noisy environments with networking capability that adapts to noise changes on the power grid.
"Power line communications connects utilities to customers enabling better energy management " said TL Nge, gridComm vice president of sales . "gridComm's solutions make this communications reliable and robust to changes on the power grid".
