“Huawei is convinced that new technologies can only be successfully developed through the global co-operation of many partners. We are therefore delighted to be able to make a contribution to the Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance.“
Dr. David Lou, Chief Researcher, 2012 Labs, Huawei Technologies
“Single Pair Ethernet is the ideal infrastructure for the IIOT. It offers barrier-free communication from the sensor to the cloud and can therefore realise enormous efficiency and cost-saving potential.”
Simon Seereiner, Business Development Manager Single Pair Ethernet
“For plant engineers, single pair Ethernet is a labor saver. Installation is simpler compared to four-pair Ethernet and allows a noticeable reduction in space and weight.”
Karola Tillack, Leader Division Device & Field Connectivity at Weidmüller
“Our cooperation in standardization creates security. Users around the world can build efficient network and cabling structures based on standardized interfaces, from the sensor through the control and enterprise levels to the cloud.”
Torsten Janwlecke, President Business Area Device Connectors at Phoenix Contact
“Compact design, miniaturized dimensions, a significant reduction in weight and the ease of connection also make SPE technology interesting for automation technology, building cabling, railroad technology and many other applications.”
Florian Gärtner, Managing Director Telegärtner Karl Gärtner GmbH
“Single Pair Ethernet opens up new fields of application for users in industrial networking: right down to the actuator and sensor level. The advantages lie in the standardized interface and the optimized structure of the SPE connection solutions.”
Folke Michelmann, Executive Vice President Business Area Medical & Industries at Rosenberger
