At ISEE G.hn Systems, we developed products like the LineWave 1000 and SmartWave 1000, which incorporate Wave-1 Technology. These devices have proven to be reliable solutions for transmitting data and video over electrical networks without requiring dedicated installations
By standardizing data transmission across multiple media, G.hn not only simplifies network installations but also enhances performance and coverage, leveraging the untapped potential of existing infrastructure.
G.hn Wave-2: Advancements and Benefits
Speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps
A near 50% increase over Wave-1, enabling faster and more efficient data transmission.
Quick Noise Adaptation (QNA)
Detects interference five times faster, enhancing performance in noisy environments.
Greater spectral efficiency
Optimizes frequency usage, providing more stable and efficient transmission.
Our LineWave 1500, SmartWave 1500, and WaveCore 1500 products leverage Wave-2 Technology, delivering advanced solutions for industrial applications and large-scale IoT networks that demand high-speed and robust connectivity.
With improved bandwidth management, Wave-2 is the ideal choice for high-quality video streaming, industrial automation, and large-scale IoT networks, especially in scenarios where other transmission technologies may be impractical or cost-prohibitive.
The greatest strength of G.hn lies in its ability to transform existing wiring into a robust and high-speed communication network, offering a flexible and efficient solution for modern data transmission without the need for new infrastructure.
Applications and ISEE G.hn Systems Experience
At ISEE G.hn Systems, we have successfully implemented projects that showcase the capabilities of both Wave-1 and Wave-2 technologies. For instance, our Indoor Camera-based Parking Sensor utilizes G.hn Wave-1 Technology to transmit real-time video data over the existing electrical infrastructure. This eliminates the need for additional cabling, significantly simplifying installation.
This system enables real-time management of available and occupied parking spaces, license plate recognition, and enhanced security monitoring within the parking facility. All of these features are implemented without requiring any additional infrastructure beyond the power network that feeds the sensors.
