PPCs BPL system components

MV200 - Together with PPCs patented medium voltage couplers enables the

MV200 medium voltage modem the data transmission on cables of up to 24kV.

LH200 - The LH200 is the interface between the BPL network and the backbone.

It modulates data on the low voltage grid with a gross data rate of 200 Mbps.

LR200 - The repeater LR200 extends the transmission distance in the power

grid.

It amplifies the signal according to the “store and forward” principle. Robust, for

facile installation and with minor dimension it is typically located in a street

cabinet.

LGW200 - The Smart Metering Gateway LGW200 connects the BPL network

with all electronic meters. Equipped with Zigbee, Wireless-M-Bus, RS485,

RS232, M-Bus or CS interfaces the LGW200 can be easily connected to meters

of all media.

43

USPs of BPL systemin the smart grid market

Available everywhere; uses the electricity grid itself

Does not demand any installation support or approval of third parties (e.g. landlords or telco-

operators, no third party costs)

Based on a worldwide standard: Internet Protocol based, with sustainable bandwidth also for the

Next Generation Smart Grid

Fulfills standard approach of MUC (German standard) and IEC

Multi-purpose IP-platform: a utility will not end up with a variety of parallel/non-interoperable

proprietary systems and will not be bound to single meter vendors

PPC‟s solution is the only Smart Grid system based on meshed-networks which ensures a

reliable system with redundancy

By far cheapest broadband solution and only affordable real-time solution

Ensures a value added and sustainable SmartGrid structure
