Jul. 2025, IEEE SA And Nessum Alliance Webinar Series #6

Nessum – Application of IEEE 1901 PLC in India by Nessum Alliance: Smart Grid, Building Automation and Use cases

Nessum is an IEEE 1901 standard technology and changed its name in September 2023 from its former name HD-PLC. Even after the name change, the technology was further developed and standardized as IEEE 1901c, and alliance activities have been vigorously conducted, with the number of members exceeding 40 companies as of May 2025. Of course, this technology has been adopted in a number of projects around the world. In this webinar, we will show how Nessum can contribute to the development of society by presenting some of the various applications using Nessum in India, the rapidly developing country. Please learn how Nessum technology can safely and easily upgrade existing lines to a more comfortable network!
