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 an RMII interface is provided to act as a PHY on a MAC or vice versa. The module has been designed utmost flexibility and ease of integration.
