High-speed wired communication solutions in the Internet of Things era
OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic Corporation has begun to authorize the use of HD-PLCTM 4*1 IP cores required for semiconductor designs that comply with the IEEE 1901-2020*2 international standard technology and functions . This IP core is the fourth generation of the HD-PLC series. Although the traditional HD-PLC uses power lines for transmission, this new series can be transmitted through existing metal lines, such as control lines, coaxial cables, and power lines, expanding its application range. This new HD-PLC technology also provides higher speeds, longer distances and less wiring for wired communications.
By using this IP core, semiconductor and peripheral equipment manufacturers will be able to flexibly meet a range of IoT service needs and manufacture products that respond to these needs.
As various devices in society become digitized and connected to IoT devices, communication technology becomes more and more important. Although the pace of adoption of wireless technologies such as 5G and high-speed fiber-optic Internet is accelerating, there are still places where it is difficult to access wireless communications. Here, the use of existing metal wires as a communication medium in the walls and ceilings of buildings, underground facilities and equipment plays a vital role. The IP core is a solution that can quickly meet the requirements of the Internet of Things era, such as higher-speed networks, enhanced security and Internet protocol networks. By combining IP cores with wireless and other technologies, it can help create optimal networks in various environments from living spaces to social infrastructure.
Panasonic uses its experience and achievements in the HD-PLC 3 IP core currently on the market. In addition to obtaining the license for this new IP core, Panasonic will also provide users with one-stop development support, including recommended circuits for the analog front end— -The key to installing semiconductors. In addition, as a high-speed wired communication solution, Panasonic will seek to use the technology to expand the adoption of IoT PLCs, and eventually apply the technology to large-scale networks covering living spaces, buildings, factories, smart cities, and other societies. infrastructure.
The IP core was first licensed to Socionext Inc. This enables the use of the fourth-generation HD-PLC to provide higher-performance semiconductors with lower energy consumption. These are expected to be built into a series of IoT connected devices.
Panasonic has launched a dedicated website that provides more information about the technology. Please note that the global IEEE SA and HD-PLC Alliance*3 webinar will be held on March 18, 2021.
