The BPL headend manages all powerline communication devices in a domain, including both BPL repeaters and BPL end devices (BPL SMGW or separate BPL modem).
It ensures the secure transmission of communication data from the powerline network to a wide area network based on state-of-the-art security concepts.
As a multifunctional platform, the BPL headend connects the distributed BPL components with higher-level network management (NMS) and network operator services.
It thus plays a key role in reliable communication in power grids with intelligent metering systems (iMSys).
BPL communication according to the internationally established standard ITU-T G9960 “G.hn”
MIMO technology in the infrastructure for high bandwidth and robust data transmission
Configuration, firmware updates, and monitoring of all connected BPL components
Network analysis and diagnostics: Comprehensive evaluations of communication quality, signal strength, and system availability
Convenient integration: Standardized interfaces (REST API, SNMP) for easy connection
Compact design with DIN rail mounting, protection class IP41
2x Ethernet interfaces for WAN and service enable quick installation and flexible integration into existing infrastructure
Zero-touch deployment via IPv6, SLAAC, DHCPv6 ensures fast, error-free commissioning and reduces installation effort
Secure boot and cryptographically secured firmware updates for maximum protection against unauthorized access guarantee highly secure system operation
Network security through 802.1x and AES encryption in the G.hn network for maximum data security in critical communication environments
VLAN support with management and payload separation and SNMPv3 TSM encryption according to TLS1.3 protects sensitive data and ensures separate and controlled communication throughout the entire BPL network
