The Ethernet Alliance announced the launch of an industry focus around Operational Technology networks found in building and industrial automation.

With development of Single-Pair Ethernet creating new opportunities for solving challenges in OT networks, the Ethernet Alliance is seeking to connect with more expertise in the building- and industrial-automation industries.

"We are well positioned as a bridge between the OT experts in building and industrial automation and the IT expertise that we have traditionally served across the Ethernet ecosystem."

One of the key roles that the Ethernet Alliance plays is supporting the deployment of Ethernet technologies into markets not traditionally served by Ethernet.

Added Brett Lane, chief technical officer, Panduit: "The benefits SPE can bring to building and industrial automation are exciting. SPE is a vital next-generation technology which stands to help industry achieve better business outcomes through the continuation of convergence across the enterprise, and the Ethernet Alliance's launch of this industry focus around OT networks is well timed."
