Smart Grids and automation deployment will require energy communication platforms that combine radio frequency (RF) and Power line Communication (PLC) devices to deliver optimal coverage. Responding to these needs, Watteco has focused its R&D efforts on creating interoperable smart devices that use the industry-standard Internet Protocol (IP) architecture used in major systems around the world. By using 6LoWPAN stack, IPv6-based architecture and services dedicated to Low power and Lossy Networks, Watteco unleashes the benefits of RF and PLC interoperability in buildings for smart grid applications.

By doing so, Watteco has acquired numerous skills around 6LoWPAN stack and participates actively in many alliances such as IPSO Alliance working groups (Internet Protocol for Smart Objects) and SICS with Contiki OS. This expertise is highly recognized today over the world and Watteco provides it through IPv6-based engineering solutions to facilitate the networking of embedded systems and enabling their interoperability with low power RF and PLC technologies.
