Harnessing Diverse Communication Media to
Drive Innovation in the IoT Society
In a groundbreaking stride toward advancing communication
standards in the digital age, the NESSUM Alliance is proud to
announce the release of the IEEE 1901c standard on May 15th. This
transformative standard, created from the collaborative efforts of
NESSUM's esteemed members, now stands poised to redefine
connectivity paradigms worldwide, under the rebranded banner of
NESSUM.
With the introduction of IEEE 1901c, formerly known as 'HD-PLC,'
NESSUM introduces many new and unparalleled features:
- Long-Distance Communication: Spanning several kilometers,
NESSUM enables a new era of expansive reach.
- Broadband Communication: Operating in the Mbps class, this
standard ensures seamless transmission of data across
networks.
- IP Compatibility: Using standardized Internet Protocol (IP),
NESSUM seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructures.
- Topology-Free Configuration: Facilitating flexible networking,
NESSUM overcomes conventional constraints of network
configurations.
- Safety and Security: Prioritizing network and user safety,
NESSUM ensures robust and secure communication channels.
Besides high-speed communication on any wire, NESSUM technology
also enables the transmission of weak radio signals, facilitating
short-range wireless communication applications, including
underwater environments. This makes it a truly versatile solution
for any media.
The IEEE began the development of the any medium communication
standard for IoT applications as IEEE P1901c in May 2022, including
the adoption of the Wavelet OFDM method - one of the advanced
feature sets of NESSUM's technological advantages compare to other
(power line) solutions. After months of effort and refinement, IEEE
1901c attained formal approval in February of this year, marking a
monumental leap forward in communication standards.
Mr. Jean-Philippe Faure, Chair of the IEEE 1901WG, lauded the
contributions of NESSUM Alliance's expert members, affirming, "This
new standard expands the application range of powerline
communication to various existing lines and supports low-power
radio, opening up new possibilities for high-speed short-range
wireless communication."
Agreeing to this sentiment, Mr. Hiroshi Saijo, Head of Business
Development & Strategy at Panasonic Holdings Corporation,
articulated a shared vision of global proliferation, stating, "We
aim to spread this IoT communication standard worldwide as an
international standard, not only in products but also in
applications."
Mr. Keishi Kajiwara, Director of the Communication Business
Division at MegaChips Corporation expressed eager anticipation for
market expansion and collaborative endeavors with the new standard,
NESSUM's pivotal role in driving innovation.
Mr. Christopher Trabold, CTO and Business Development Leader for
Asset Monitoring and Communication at General Electric Vernova,
emphasized the burgeoning demand for powerline communication with
the digitalization of power infrastructure, signaling a promising
trajectory for IEEE 1901c.
IEEE 1901c's transformative capabilities extend to long-distance
powerline communication, now covering the several hundred kHz band
as NBPLC through innovative resampling. This evolutionary leap
finds resonance in diverse sectors, from medium-voltage system
control to smart meters, with new applications in Asia and
beyond.
Mr. Markus Rindchen, Head of Technology Management at Power Plus
Communications AG, pointed out the indispensable role of NESSUM in
Germany's Smart Meter Gateway business, underscoring its essential
role for the mass roll-out.
Mr. Tomislav Drenski, Marketing Manager at Socionext Europe GmbH
is excited to promote the new NESSUM ICs. These advanced ICs offer
unique features such as high speed, stable and secure long-distance
communication, which surpass other power line solutions available
in the market.
With a strong long-term commitment to meet evolving market
demands and continuously develop innovation in the IoT landscape,
the NESSUM Alliance promotes and supports Any Media communications
being inter-operable worldwide. Through a multifaceted approach
encompassing webinars, seminars, exhibitions, and extensive
promotional activities, the alliance is confident and certain to
drive future state-of-the-art solutions with increased
compatibility, and lead international standardization efforts.
