G3 PLC technology provides the ability to transmit measurement data in a highly efficient manner that is both cost and resource effective, while still still offering high-performing energy management solutions, according to a Landis+Gyr news release. G3 PLC was designed specifically to meet future advanced networking and application needs. The latest G3 PLC technology comprises the latest internet protocol, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and can contribute to the development of the Internet of Things as well as the smart grid and smart home.
The latest G3 Powerline Communication Technology (PLC), which has now been successfully tested, builds on previous PLC communications technology. Whereas only two frequencies were used in the first generation, the latest G3 PLC uses 36, making it possible to transmit large amounts of data in a This makes it possible to transmit large amounts of data in a robust and secure manner.
