HD-PLC FOR SMART BUILDINGS
The new Lonmark Standard for high-speed wireline communication.
MORE DATA, FASTER DECISION-MAKING.
HD-PLC makes Lonworks systems smarter.
For the first time in nearly three decades, LonMark has adopted a new standard for wired communications. HD-PLC provides LON systems with an instant speed upgrade—from just kilobits to megabits—without needing to add or replace wiring. Now you can add more nodes, integrate more systems, and make your smart city and smart building applications…smarter.

HD-PLC FOR LONWORKS FEATURES
Same old wiring. All-new performance and capabilities.
Capable of achieving PHY speeds up to 240Mbps, HD-PLC provides all the bandwidth you need for modern retrofit applications. It supports any type of wiring (twisted-pair, coax, power lines, etc.), so you can deliver powerful new capabilities without replacing a single cable.
Plug-and-play mesh networking.
No more time-consuming network planning or configuration. With HD-PLC, you simply plug in your devices. The network takes care of the rest, automatically calculating route cost and dynamically optimizing traffic. Deployments have never been easier, or faster.
Smarter, bigger, stronger. Free topology is now better than ever.
HD-PLC brings the latest advances in centralized matrix-based source routing (CMSR) to free topology (ITU-T G.9905). You get the plug-and-play simplicity of a self-optimizing mesh network, plus the added range and robustness of multi-hop technology that enables any node to act as a repeater. Multi-hop based on CMSR can extend communication range up to 10 times, making it perfect for large smart city and smart building deployments.
Cybersecurity is now standard.
With growing threats inside and outside of firewalls, cybersecurity is no longer optional. HD-PLC provides a built-in AES-128 encryption engine to bring security to every node and meet the cybersecurity demands of modern industrial IoT applications.
EASYLON MAKES GETTING STARTED EASY
Developed by Gesytec, the Easylon Protocol Stack (EPOS) makes it easy to integrate new HD-PLC systems into LonWorks control networks. EPOS is a full-featured LON protocol stack based on ISO/IEC14908, running on a 32-bit microcontroller with internal FLASH and RAM memory. EPOS comes with a XIF generator, building a C frame code from your XIF file.

THE NEW HIGH-SPEED NETWORK IS HERE
Faster, more secure, lower cost. HD-PLC sets a new standard for smart city applications.
HD-PLC IEEE 1901 / ITU-G.9905
Meeting The Demands Of Next-Gen High-Speed Wireline Networks
More data, more nodes, and more value. Today’s industrial IoT, smart buildings, smart grids, and other smart city applications have placed unprecedented demands on control networks, stretching serial buses—and deployment budgets—to their limits.
HD-PLC solves these challenges by combining two international standards (IEEE 1901 and ITU-T G.9905) into one powerful technology. Capable of achieving PHY speeds up to 240Mbps over any wired channel (including AC/DC power lines, twisted pair, COAX, Ethernet, speaker wires and phone lines), and a robust routing scheme, HD-PLC is the clear choice for next-gen smart cities applications.
By enabling integrators to use existing wires to deliver data and power, HD-PLC can dramatically reduce cost, complexity, and deployment time. Among all communications technologies, HD-PLC holds the greatest promise for meeting the demands of modern smart city applications. HD-PLC is fast, cost-effective, and easy to design in and deploy.
