The SPE Industrial Partner Network more than doubled the number of its members within a few months

February 18, 2020

Since SPS 2019, the SPE Industrial Partner Network has more than doubled its number of members. In January 2020, 17 well-known technology leaders from the automation industry were already a part of the network. In addition to the founding members (HARTING, TE Connectivity, HIROSE, LEONI, Murrelektronik, Würth Electronic and softing IT network), the companies igus, DEHN, HELUKABEL, Molex, Amphenol ICC, Lütze, ESCHA, Perinet, EKF and Zheijang have been members of the SPE Industrial Partner Network e.V. Other interesting companies have already expressed their interest and will soon continue to grow the network. This great interest and the willingness of a wide variety of solution providers to become active and cooperate in a network shows the relevance of single pair Ethernet for the future of automation.

The new members complete and strengthen the SPE ecosystem and give interested parties the necessary expertise and investment security to start design-in projects with single pair Ethernet. They stand for a strong partnership of technology leaders who are committed to the T1 Industrial interface defined by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25/WG 3 and TIA TR-42 in 2018 according to IEC 63171-6 as a uniform media dependent interface (MDI) pronounce.

“Only the SPE Industrial Partner Network with its numerous partners offers users the technical expertise to convert the field level to single-pair Ethernet. Frank Welzel, 1st Chairman SPE Industrial Partner Network.

For the reliable establishment of the entire future SPE ecosystem, standards for transmission protocols, cabling and device components are also jointly supported. Therefore, all members of the partner program, as well as the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25/WG 3, are in close exchange and intensive cooperation with IEEE 802.3 and IEC SC 46C for uniform transmission standards and copper data cables.

Single pair Ethernet is the infrastructure basis that makes IIoT and Industry 4.0 possible.

If you want to learn more, visit the Hannover Messe on Thursday April 23, 2020. At the Vogel Communications Group stand (Hall 12, Stand B15) SPE invites you to a relaxed come-together with interesting lectures from 4:30 p.m.
