NAME Data and Protocols Laboratory

DESCRIPTION

Testing and Certification Laboratory for communication protocols, data protocols and functionality and cybersecurity, specially equipped for the verification of protocols based on PLC (Power Line Communications), radio frequency (WiFi, Bluetooth, 2G, 3G, 4G, NB-IoT technologies , LTE Cat. M, ZigBee, Wi-Sun), substation protocols (61850) and data protocols (DLMS / COSEM). The laboratory itself develops its own testing tools, so each year we incorporate between 3 and 5 new tools in the portfolio.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

Electricity grid cybersecurity

Integration of distributed generation and storage. Microgrids

Product validation (HW/SW) for electricity grids
