By providing specialized embedded systems, PCN is the leading worldwide OEM & Utility supplier of embedded data & energy communication, management, automation , & networking systems for application specific power line enabled solutions as well as overall end-to-end smart grid connectivity.
Our embedded solutions allow immediate product solutions while also allowing advanced grid enabled capabilities.
PCN products are not power line chipsets, but are feature rich I/O subsystem platform solutions for OEM and Infrastructure applications. They are specialized energy grid communication solutions utilizing open standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products for adding I/O on embedded systems that can provide advanced application solutions as well as saving development time and costs while increasing overall system performance.
PCN delivers high-end I/O along with superior flexibility in overall connectivity, energy measurement, data and power performance, drivers, software, and operating systems compatibility & convergence.
For specific OEM, Infrastructure and Utility customers, PCN offers customized products and systems with specialized application specific firmware modifications, custom connectivity, and hardware modifications as well as specialized MVP and Integration support.
For application specific system testing, PCN provides its market leading MVP process or Market Validation Prototype process. This allows OEM’s to see their specific products and systems working with PCN within an overall system solution – rather than just a demo of power line communication with no real relevance to their products or systems.
