WPC™ Functioning
Watt Pulse Communication, or WPC™, technology is a revolutionary patented Wideband Powerline technology for global markets that takes electromagnetic pulses generated by electrical appliances on the grid's powerline infrastructure and uses them to transport data and create a low-voltage Command & Control network.
Unlike other PLC technologies, WPC™ does not use any carriers to transport data, which optimizes the communication stream and enables the use of extremely compact, highly integrated devices.
WPC™ technology cuts costs since signal processing is eliminated, it minimizes module size since no analog front end is required, and it dramatically reduces power consumption as compared to solutions that need inductive coupling.
