The Two Leading Single Pair Ethernet Networks Join Forces for the Future of Industrial Communication
兩大單對(duì)以太網(wǎng)聯(lián)盟攜手共拓工業(yè)通信未來

July 11, 2025 - After nearly six years of successful but separate work, the two major networks promoting Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology are joining forces. The SPE Industrial Partner Network e.V. and the Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance e.V., consisting of numerous well-known industrial companies, have been committed to the dissemination and further development of SPE since their inception.

2025年7月11日 —— 經(jīng)過近六年的獨(dú)立成功運(yùn)作，兩大推動(dòng)單對(duì)以太網(wǎng)（SPE）技術(shù)的主要聯(lián)盟正式攜手合作。SPE工業(yè)合作伙伴網(wǎng)絡(luò)協(xié)會(huì)（SPE Industrial Partner Network e.V.）與單對(duì)以太網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)聯(lián)盟（Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance e.V.）匯聚了眾多知名工業(yè)企業(yè)，自成立以來便致力于SPE技術(shù)的推廣與持續(xù)發(fā)展。

Until now, they have operated independently with their own members, working groups and areas of focus. With the growing awareness and relevance of SPE in the market, the networks have come closer together since the Hannover Messe 2025 and now plan to coordinate their activities in the future. The aim is to bring the strengths and combined expertise of both networks even more effectively to bear in the market and to further accelerate the spread of SPE. The first joint activities are already planned for 2025: both networks will be represented with a joint stand at SPS Atlanta 2025 – Smart Production Solutions USA Sept. 16-18. Both networks will also play a key role in shaping the SPE Forum Oct. 22-23 in Ludwigsburg, Germany, with coordinated presentations. The year will conclude with a joint exhibition stand at SPS – Smart Production Solutions Nov. 25-27, 2025 in Nuremberg.

此前，兩大聯(lián)盟各自運(yùn)營會(huì)員體系、工作組及重點(diǎn)領(lǐng)域，但隨著市場對(duì)SPE技術(shù)的認(rèn)知與需求日益增長，雙方在2025年漢諾威工業(yè)博覽會(huì) 后加速融合，計(jì)劃未來協(xié)同行動(dòng)。此舉旨在整合雙方優(yōu)勢(shì)與專業(yè)資源，更高效地推動(dòng)SPE技術(shù)的市場普及。2025年已規(guī)劃多項(xiàng)聯(lián)合活動(dòng)：兩大聯(lián)盟將聯(lián)合亮相SPS亞特蘭大2025——美國智能生產(chǎn)解決方案展 （9月16-18日）；在德國路德維希堡舉行的SPE論壇 （10月22-23日）中，雙方將通過協(xié)調(diào)演講共同塑造行業(yè)觀點(diǎn)；年末還將攜手參展SPS紐倫堡智能生產(chǎn)解決方案展 （11月25-27日）。

Both networks have been committed to the development of international standards for SPE since the beginning. Together, they support the SPE connector standard IEC 63171-7 and are consistently driving forward its expansion to include a uniform IP20 SPE mating profile. This standard forms a connecting element for the world of automation and creates a uniform basis for future-proof industrial communication. Other existing connector solutions and the associated international standards remain unaffected and continue to be valid for the numerous fields of application of SPE.

自成立之初，兩大聯(lián)盟便共同致力于國際SPE標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制定。雙方支持IEC 63171-7單對(duì)以太網(wǎng)連接器標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并持續(xù)推進(jìn)其擴(kuò)展，以形成統(tǒng)一的IP20 SPE接口規(guī)范。該標(biāo)準(zhǔn)成為工業(yè)自動(dòng)化領(lǐng)域的關(guān)鍵紐帶，為未來通信技術(shù)奠定統(tǒng)一基礎(chǔ)。其他現(xiàn)有連接方案及相關(guān)國際標(biāo)準(zhǔn)仍有效，適用于SPE技術(shù)的多樣化應(yīng)用場景。

A central focus of the collaboration is the further internationalization of Single Pair Ethernet. The aim is to make the advantages of SPE visible worldwide and to give users around the globe access to a powerful, efficient and future-oriented network technology.

此次合作的核心目標(biāo)是加速單對(duì)以太網(wǎng)的全球化進(jìn)程，向全球用戶彰顯其技術(shù)優(yōu)勢(shì)，并提供高效、可靠且面向未來的網(wǎng)絡(luò)解決方案。

The numerous member companies of both networks are pooling their extensive expertise and innovative strength to create a strong and sustainable SPE ecosystem. This will enable users worldwide to benefit from practical solutions that pave the way for digitaliation.

通過整合成員企業(yè)的專業(yè)資源與創(chuàng)新能力，兩大聯(lián)盟將構(gòu)建一個(gè)強(qiáng)大且可持續(xù)的SPE生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，助力全球用戶實(shí)現(xiàn)數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型。
