Power Line Carrier | Cost Effective Communications

Power line carrier technology is presented as a secure, reliable alternative to wireless and trenching fiber for substation data communications. The iBridge Communications Solution inductively couples serial and ethernet data onto existing conductors to connect asset monitors to the control house, enabling condition-based monitoring while reducing costs and installation risks.

Product Overview

• Uses existing conductors to deliver substation data reliably and securely.
• Avoids trenching fiber runs, reducing costs, risks, and installation time.
• Sends serial and ethernet data with broadband speeds across wires.
• Ideal for condition-based monitoring and substation communications architectures and SCADA.

iBridge Communications Solution delivers fast, secure substation data without trenching. Inductively couple serial and ethernet traffic onto existing conductors to achieve broadband speeds across wires. Connect asset monitors to the control house, integrate SCADA and backhaul communications, and overcome wireless interference and antenna limitations while reducing costs and installation time.

Target Market

Used by asset managers, protection and control engineers, SCADA/OT teams, and maintenance groups in transmission and distribution utilities, traditional and renewable power generation, data centers, industrials, and mining. Ideal when avoiding trenching, replacing unreliable wireless links, integrating SCADA/backhaul, and connecting asset monitors for condition-based monitoring.
