The G3-PLC international standard Designed for multiple worldwide IoT applications
G3-PLC is a narrowband power line communication OFDM technology based on narrowband PLC standards (ITU-T G.9903 and IEEE 1901.2) operating in several bandplans covering the overall frequency range 0 – 500 kHz to address numerous use cases matching regional regulation.

The G3-PLC international standard Designed for multiple worldwide IoT applications
A « future proof » worldwide PLC technology for multiple applications:
PHY/MAC/6LoWPAN lower layers specified by the G3-PLC Alliance and based on open standards (ITU-T G.9903)
Modular design, allowing for different lower-layer options (frequency bandplans, routing scheme,…)
Native IPv6 support
Main technical features of the lower layers:
OFDM modulation scheme (ROBO, DBPSK, DQPSK, D8PSK, 16QAM) providing up to 180 kbps data rate in the FCC bandplan
Error correction (convolutional and Reed Solomon encoding, interleaving) schemes provide enhanced robustness
Channel estimation allows optimal use of the channel
MAC and 6LoWPAN security
Routing: LOADng default layer 2 routing scheme (can be disabled: instead LOADng may also be used at layer 3)

The G3-PLC international standard Designed for multiple worldwide IoT applications
The industry members of the G3-PLC Alliance (utilities, equipment manufacturers, chip manufacturers) support its charter, consisting in:
The maintenance and support of the G3-PLC specification in internationally recognized standards development organization
Facilitating interoperability among G3-PLC adopters
Promoting the G3-PLC technology
The publication of ITU-T G.9903 standard in late 2013/early 2014 and the availability of a G3-PLC certification program for FCC, CENELEC A and ARIB bandplans position G3-PLC as a candidate for large scale roll-outs of smart energy systems.
An updated list of certified devices is available at the following link: http://107.170.210.217/content/g3-plc-certified-products

Implementing a G3-PLC network over the MV grid could allow it to be used as a shared IPv6 backbone for multiple smart grid use cases and other business needs, thus optimizing costs associated with installing, maintaining and operating multiple telecommunication infrastructures.
1 MV FAN (Field Area Network): IPv6 backbone using G3-PLC operating in the FCC bandplan (150 to 490 kHz) covering MV use cases and supporting communication towards/from the LV NANs.
2 LV NANs (Neighborhood Area Network): G3-PLC operating in the CENELEC A bandplan (35 to 90 kHz) or in the FCC bandplan covering metering and other LV use cases.

Conclusion
G3-PLC, a future proof international standard, allows robust communication
over both low voltage and medium voltage networks for various use cases
ranging from smart metering to grid automation.
The SOGrid project brings this concept into the real world, thus combining
smart grid standards with the IoT ecosystem.
The LOADng routing protocol is a key enabler for resilience in a
bidirectional IPv6 multi-hop communication scheme.

Exemple of a segment tested in Toulouse:
- Characaterization test of the PLC links show an overall attenuation of about 30 to 40 dB
when using inductive couplers for G3-PLC signal injection and reception:
- Tests performed over 24 hours show a high communication success rate for different packet
