White BEET

The WHITE Beet family of universal full-featured powerline modules is based on Qualcomm’s QCA7005 chip and uses the HomePlug GreenPHY standard. A suite of integrated tools, including ISO/IEC 15118, Control Pilot EV side functionality, and other key features, makes it the perfect ready-to-use solution for e-mobility (EVSE and PEV). However, WHITE Beet is also perfect for smart grid, smart meter, IoT and other long-range communication applications.
