Power utility companies with already laid power distribution network intend to use the same power grids as communication link among various sub-stations. Matrix Power Line Carrier Communication (PLCC) EPAX integrates with the existing power line infrastructure and uses the same network for communication across various sites. Matrix Power Line Communication Device is an advanced technology switch with support for all types of networks present in the modern power grids. Besides traditional E&M, CO and ISDN connectivity, the PLC communication device empowers power grids to avail multilateral benefits of cost effective IP and GSM networks. The system architecture with optional redundancy and hot-swap capabilities offers higher reliability and maintenance ease for minimum downtime.
SOLUTION
PLCC Express Switch
The modular and software driven architecture of the Matrix PLCC EPAX provides dependable platform for PLCC Express applications. Moreover, redundancy of critical hardware blocks is provided to meet the needs of mission-critical applications.
ETERNITY PLCC Express is the superset of all switching functions. It has capabilities to work as a PLCC EPAX with transit functions. It also performs the role of a normal Office PBX, saving over the separate switching infrastructure and Office PBX.
Gateway Interface
To cater the increasing need of redundant network for communication of utility companies, a need of the alternate technologies like GSM and IP has emerged.
Matrix PLCC EPAX provides interface for extending the communication redundancy to GSM and IP networks through expansion cards without changing the existing setup. In addition, the PLCC EPAX has the interface for connecting external VOIP and GSM Gateways to leverage benefits of these networks along with E&M network.
