NxBB
NxBB™ – Power + Data. One Line. Zero Headaches.
Reliable Communication for Demanding Operations
NxBB™ is a hardwired, data-over-power system that delivers secure, high-speed communication through existing power conductors. It eliminates the interference and instability common in wireless or optical systems — ensuring continuous, dependable connectivity for industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Hardwired Reliability: Immune to wireless interference and designed for noisy industrial settings.
- Secure Data: Built-in 128-bit AES encryption keeps data protected across every line.
- Custom Filters: Reduce interference and isolate data domains for high-density setups.
- Enhanced Signal Injectors: Strengthened signal integrity for longer runs and complex layouts.
- Flexible Integration: Compatible with conductor rails, cable reels, festoon systems, cable chains, and slip rings.
Comparison Table
| Feature / Benefit | NxBB (Hardwired) | Wi-Fi Network | Optical Systems |
| Reliability | Immune to interference, rock-solid in noisy industrial zones | Prone to interference, drops with heavy machinery | Stable but disrupted by dust/misalignment |
| Security | 128-bit AES encryption, hardwired path | Requires IT setup & network security, vulnerable to breaches | Generally secure, but still needs network integration |
| Installation | No IT required | Needs IT involvement, access points & cabling | Complex alignment & specialized skills |
| Scalability | Supports more vehicles & longer runs | Often slows with more devices, bandwidth contention | Limited by line-of-sight & complexity |
| Latency | Low latency, real-time performance | Variable latency under load | Low latency but limited flexibility |
| Maintenance | Low-maintenance, rugged hardware | Ongoing network troubleshooting | High upkeep in dusty/harsh conditions |
| Total Cost of Ownership | Lower over lifecycle – fewer components | High IT & maintenance costs | Higher upfront & upkeep costs |
