Turning four into one: The advantages of SPE explained in simple terms

Instead of two or four pairs of wires, Single Pair Ethernet cabling requires just one pair of wires for the transmission of data and power. The simple design and the associated reduction in weight, space requirements and installation costs offer many advantages in an industrial environment. Single Pair Ethernet enables the end-to-end, economical connection of a large number of terminal devices in the Industrial IOT, from sensors in the field to the cloud.

Introduction and why using SPE?

Single Pair Ethernet - The great new technology for the industrial IoT. Our SPE expert Simon Seereiner explains why SPE is the topic for the industry of the future. Let him introduce you to the communication architecture of tomorrow.

We are on the path to a uniform market standard - As member of SPE System Alliance

The SPE System Alliance is an association of leading technology companies from different industries and fields of application who bundle and exchange their expertise regarding Single Pair Ethernet. All partners pursue the common goal of promoting the SPE technology for the IIoT and every other field of application. Details and opportunities to contact the SPE System Alliance can be found on the website.
