The 2Wire-Module enables seamless integration of Nessum-Wire connectivity into existing products without requiring in-depth knowledge of the underlying technology. This compact communication module (23x28mm) provides zero-code integration for Ethernet-to-Nessum bridging, allowing manufacturers to add 2Wire capabilities with minimal development effort. The module includes all necessary components – integrated transformer, Ethernet PHY, and standard interfaces (UART, SPI, I²C, GPIO) – for plug-and-play implementation.
Fast and easy integration
The 2WIRE-Module is a communication module for transmitting and receiving data over any pair of wires, including power line, bell wire or coax cables.
It holds all functions necessary for the easy creation of an Nessum Wire (IEEE1901) compatible network device. Nessum-Wire (formerly known as HDPLC) is based on wavelet OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which allows for efficient use of the available bandwidth, low power consumption, excellent noise rejection capabilities and will pass EMC regulations.
The 2WIRE-Module integrated AES-128 bit encryption, but will also allow for Plug & Play operation without configuration. On the LAN-side 10/100 Ethernet is provided for simple connection to other device, e.g. via PHY-to-PHY coupling. The module has been design for fast and easy integration.
