Exhibition Summary

Echonet Power Line Carrier Communication System

This Power Line Carrier communication system is approved as a national standard PLC communication method by Echonet Consortium, a standardization organization enhancing network home-appliance development. The key technology is Mesa-SS method that has great advantages in anti-noise and high signal margin characteristics.
Now this technology is under field-testing process at 300 households in Kansai region from 4/01/02.
Its outstanding anti-noise performance can be seen at our booth. Please visit!!

Advanced Power Line Communication System

•	The noise cancellation algorithm suitable for PLC is proposed.
•	Application Example
	ο	Voice Communication over PLC
	ο	Home Security over PLC

PLC Access System

We introduce our PLC Access System.

•	Introduction of the PLC technology, which is called ITMx series, that we are developing in cooperation with Preminet Inc. and Alps Electric Co., Ltd.
•	Demonstration of tele-metering system using IT800

PLC Home Network

We introduce to our application of technologies and products of In-Home Network.

•	Introduction of the PLC technology, which is called ITMx series, that we are developing (in cooperation with LINECOM Co., Inc.)
•	Demonstration of automatic home appliance control system using IT800
•	ITM1 PLNET52 2.5 Mbps Power Line Modem
•	Our new product, "Broad Band Box" of information distributing box

Instant Broadband Solution (PLC)

As an instant broadband solution, PLC modems will be displayed. Applications to Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) Line are explained, and the outline of the trial service in ENDESA will be described.

High Attenuation EMI Technology for PLC-Blocking Filter

We exhibit newly developed high attenuation PLC-Blocking Filter technology.
The one of PLC issue as EMI problem is how to prevent the leakage of communication data to the outside of communicating area. For this purpose, filtering performance is necessary to exceed the dynamic range of PLC signals.
We have developed high attention blocking filter based on our new EMI technology, and confirmed the solution to block PLC-signals in the range of 2M - 30MHz.
In the case of locating it at the house connection, it will block the communication between indoor and outdoor.

Dispersed Tone Power Line Communication Modem

1)	Dispersed tone technology for power line communication modems is introduced. With this technology, cost-effective and reliable power line communication systems can be achieved. Expected applications are home energy management systems, home security systems and so forth.
2)	Using IT800 PLCs as Microsoft Simple Control Protocol (SCP)Network devices, we will demonstrate SCP and bridged SCP to UPnP system.
