I feel like SPE has a lot of potential for IoT, sensors, etc. Well, maybe some cheap PLC could compete too, but the multi-drop and PoDL capabilities are quite interesting for dispatching a few $3 sensors.
I kind of want to run SPE over old coaxial cables that are quite commonly found in relatively recent houses. Add a cheap ESP with I2S, an I2S DAC and a speaker, and you get a smart multi-room speaker setup.
- samtho 3y agoIf you have coax, you already have a sufficiently shielded connection so you wont need a twisted pair. You can just modulate an RF signal down the line - I think there is even a standard for it that is not DOCSIS for sending small data packets.
- RF_Savage 3y agoThe multidrop capable 10Base-T1S is much shorter range (around 30meters) than the long range point-to-point 10Base-T1L (+1000meters). 10Base-T1S also does not tolerate too long "branches" from the main trunk, so can't run it old phone wiring in a house for example.
