PLC Solutions
Semtech Power Line Communications (PLC) products enable communication via low-
voltage and medium-voltage power lines. Power line communications has long been a
favorite application for utility companies because it allows them to reliably move data over
infrastructure that they own and control. One of the main benefits of PLC to utilities is
that it efficiently addresses their communications needs across a vast array of applications
(metering, substation monitoring, load control and load shedding, home energy
management, etc.) all focused on collectively addressing energy management tasks. Our
PLC product platforms work on medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) networks,
and our SoC offers both end-device and DCU/Service Node functionalities throughout
the PHY, MAC and Convergence layers.

POWER LINE COMMUNICATION PRODUCTS | PRODUCT BRIEF
On a broad level, most, if not all, of our PLC SoC applications are tied to Active Energy Management. One of the applications for PLC
technology is Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which allows utility companies to send and retrieve information from residential
and industrial meters using power lines that connect directly to their servers. AMI also includes In Home Displays (IHD) and Gateways with
which consumers and utility companies can use to control and manage residential energy usage. PLC usage also extends to other applications
that use electricity as a source of power and require some (or substantial) intelligence for control and monitoring.
