Virtual Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) System Alliance Technology Days 2020

On 22^nd and 23^rd September, the SPE System Alliance invites experts from different industries and technology areas to an international digital knowledge exchange on Single Pair Ethernet.

At the Technology Days, which are taking place for the first time this year, you can exchange ideas with specialists and learn about the added value of this communication technology via various presentations. The digital conference will be framed by a keynote, discussion panels and an exhibition.

The conference language will be English. The exhibition will be open to all participants until 2 October 2020. You can register and attend the Technology Days 2020 here

SPE System Alliance:

Cross-industry and cross-application alliance for Single Pair Ethernet technology

The technology partnership between Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller, Reichle & De-Massari (R&M), Fluke Networks, and Telegärtner for the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) has progressed to create the SPE System Alliance.

In this group, leading technology companies from various industries and fields of application have come together to bundle their respective SPE expertise and ensure the target-oriented exchange of this knowledge.

The partners in this group are pursuing the goal of driving the development of SPE further forward for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and may branch out to other areas as well.

The System Alliance has now also been joined by Datwyler, Kyland, Microchip Technology, Rosenberger, SICK, O-Ring, Draka/Prysmian Group, and University 4 Industry.

Synergies in the SPE System Alliance

The network aims to collaborate on the technological challenges faced when implementing SPE in IIoT applications. The goal of the companies is to accelerate their own development of expertise in SPE technology and to allow it to be implemented faster and more reliably in their products.

Through this orientation toward a cross-industry and cross-application exchange platform, companies from all future SPE ecosystems are coming together. The focus is not, however, on individual aspects such as connection technology.

Instead, the focus is on questions and challenges that continue to exist with many market participants in connection with SPE. Rule exchange formats and collaborative project activities provide the freedom for close cooperation.

The members are already working together in the first sub-communities, in the fields of connection technology, standardisation, SPE use-case reports, and cable solutions, among others. Thanks to its broad lineup, the SPE System Alliance already covers a large range of applications and fields of application.
