 Freescale partnering with arivus to develop automated meter reading through power-line


Freescale Semiconductor and arivus GmbH (partner of iAd GmbH) are joining hands to develop advanced orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) power line communications (PLC) modem solutions.
These next-generation PLC solutions target a wide range of building control applications, such as automated meter reading (AMR) and energy management and lighting for the European Union and global deployment. This technology will be de demonstrated at Freescale's Booth #335, Hall 9, at Embedded World.

Freescale and arivus GmbH plan to work together to support open standards for power line modem communications to support metering and building connectivity.

"DLC communications is much more than only the single chipset. In addition to silicon, you have to focus on essential solutions within the communication system software," said Karsten Pott, managing director of arivus. "Only a sound handshake between hardware and software results in high performing availability, for example, with re-routing and transmitted data rates. Together with Freescale, we see plenty of opportunities for improved offerings to the smart grid market."
