Hsinchu, Taiwan – March 27, 2025 – VertexCom is a leading G3-PLC system-on-chip and network software design company, providing smart grid and IoT communication solutions. Its VC6312-HYBRID and VC6318-HYBRID dual-mode hybrid platforms have respectively obtained G3-Alliance’s G3-Hybrid Device and Coordinate certifications, and both have obtained G3-Hybrid PLC+RF FCC platform qualifications.
The G3-Hybrid communication method is mainly a hybrid of G3-PLC + RF dual modes. Through two media, it provides extension and expansion functions for smart grid and IoT applications in a seamless management network, setting an important milestone for the communications industry.
In addition to the existing G3-PLC protocol ITU-T G.9903, the G3-Hybrid dual-mode protocol stack is also jointly built with the open standard IEEE 802.15.4-2015. Each device in the mesh network can use PLC and RF to communicate, and according to the actual situation on site, the messages between the two devices will be sent through the "best" available channel. The channel selection of each link in the network is automatically completed and dynamically adjusted.
Dr. HH Li, the president of VertexCom states that VertexCom has long been committed to the development of PLC power line communication technology and RF wireless communication technology. The hybrid dual-mode communication solution provides a flexible, high-speed, stable and reliable dual-channel communication network for smart grid transmission. The G3-Hybrid networking solution effectively improves coverage and connectivity, avoiding the high cost of achieving 100% connectivity. VertexCom G3-Hybrid platform can provide more efficient and cost-effective solutions for smart grids, smart cities, and industrial applications.
