WPC-15.4™
ultra low power PLC modem embedding IEEE 802.15.4 communication stack for RF interoperability
|
|
Using the ultra low power physical layer of WPC™ technology, the WPC-15.4™ transceiver embeds the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer stack popular in the wireless field for Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR WPAN).
By integrating WPC-15.4™ devices, OEMs improve their product compatibility with other open/proprietary standards, as ZigBee™ or Internet Protocol, and ensures a higher coverage when radio can be not used alone with a reduced engineering development process.
