Radio-frequency (RF) interference reduction.
Power Control
This function minimizes the transmission power of each
PowerGrid unit while maintaining data throughput performance.
*Dynamic PSD
Control
The modem’s Ethernet port monitors the incoming traffic rate
and subsequently calculates the transmission power required
that permits this rate of transmission.
The higher the incoming traffic rate, the greater the phy rate
and transmission power required. The lower the rate, the lesser
the phy rate and transmission power required.
* This feature has been developed to reduce the transmission power so as to
cut the power consumption of the device and minimize the interference to
other electronic devices in the vicinity.
