Dynamic Powerline-based Networking for Better Connected Buildings

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，并且克服了迄今为止阻碍这种方法商业化的许多问题。人们对无线系统（无论是WiFi还是Zigbee）的替代方案的需求正在稳步增长，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区域，这在多人居住的建筑物中是一个重要的愿望。这个项目是为了看看将我们的技术扩展到更好地连接建筑的概念上是否可行。到目前为止，我们只关注控制照明系统。我们将与建筑研究机构紧密合作，制定我们需要符合的标准，以证明我们建议的技术有潜力成为大部分竞争范围的可行技术。BRE亦会协助监察我们的示范试验，这些试验将在一家大型发展公司和一家主要建筑承建商的协助下进行，我们的可行性测试装置将会安装在一栋正在运作的商业大厦内。

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.
