TerOpta is researching an intelligent system for transmitting information over the power supply. Although the concept is not new we believe our patent protectable technology is innovative and overcomes many of the problems that have to date prevented this approach being commercialised.The need for an alternative to wireless systems be they WiFi or Zigbee is steadily growing, primarily due to bandwidth and security issues. A major advantage of power line communications systems is their security - the information can be restricted to specific areas, an important desirable in multi occupancy buildings.This project is to see if it is feasible to extend our technology to the concept of better connected buildings. Up to now we have only looked at controlling lighting systems.We shall be working closely with the Building Research Establishment in the development of the criteria we need to meet to demonstrate that our proposed technology has the potential to be an enabling technology for most of the scope of the competition. BRE will also help in monitoring our demonstration trials, which will be carried out with the help of a major development company and a major building contractor, indeed our feasibility test unit will be installed in a working commercial building.

TerOpta正在研究一种通过电源传输信息的智能系统。虽然这个概念并不新鲜，但我们相信我们的专利保护技术是创新的，克服了迄今为止阻碍这种方法商业化的许多问题。对无线系统替代品的需求正在稳步增长，无论是WiFi还是Zigbee，主要是由于带宽和安全问题。电力线通信系统的一个主要优点是其安全性-信息可以被限制在特定的区域，这是多人居住建筑物的一个重要需求。该项目是为了看看是否可以将我们的技术扩展到更好地连接建筑物的概念。到目前为止，我们只研究了控制照明系统。我们将与建筑研究机构密切合作，制定我们需要满足的标准，以证明我们提出的技术有潜力成为大部分范围的支持技术竞争。BRE还将帮助监测我们的示范试验，这些试验将在一家主要开发公司和一家主要建筑承包商的帮助下进行，实际上，我们的可行性试验装置将安装在一座正在工作的商业大楼中。
