“LVX Global is excited to join the HD-PLC Alliance, our participation is part of our belief in building an international global power line communication standard, and is core to having open and reliable communications as well as sustainable systems for the management of smart cities“ said Matthias Lürkens, GM Connectivity & Standardization for LVX Global.
“Helvetia is excited to join the HD-PLC Alliance. Our participation aims to make smart city management a sustainable system using HD-PLC.” said Katsushi Mori, CEO of Helvetia.
“Panasonic's HD-PLC technology provides a cost-effective, safe and reliable simple way for the two-wire door-phone system. We are very happy to be able to introduce HD-PLC Inside Plus technology into the Clouder’s CR600 chip to help customers achieve better efficiency and stability in use. It is a great honor to join the HD-PLC alliance, wish the alliance better and better.” said Lee Jichuan, CEO of Shanghai Clouder Semiconductor.
The Alliance held HD-PLC global web seminars or “Webinars” jointly with IEEE SA in March and June, and explores to organize next Webinar this fall.
The Alliance welcomes other new member to together expand the use of HD-PLC across various use cases in countries around the world.
Note:
*1: The unincorporated association founded by Panasonic Corporation in 2017, which aims to expand and increase the use of HD-PLC and ensure interoperability between equipment with built-in HD-PLC.
*2: HD-PLC™ or HD-PLC™ mark is a registered trademark or trademark of Panasonic Corporation in Japan and in other countries.
*3: IEEE: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, U.S.A. The global standard on high-speed Power Line Communication that adopted HD-PLC as core technology in 2010. The latest revision, IEEE 1901 std-2020, has been published in January 2021.

Kioxia Develops Core Technology that Will Allow the Practical Implementation of High-density, Low-power 3D DRAM12.12.2025 07:24:00 EET | Press release
Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced the development of highly stackable oxide-semiconductor channel transistors that will enable the practical implementation of high-density, low-power 3D DRAM. This technology was presented at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) held in San Francisco, USA, on December 10, and has the potential to reduce power consumption across a wide range of applications, including AI servers and IoT components. In the era of AI, there is growing demand for DRAM with larger capacity and lower power consumption that can process large amounts of data. Traditional DRAM technology is reaching the physical limits of memory cell size scaling, prompting research into the 3D stacking of memory cells to provide additional capacity. The use of single-crystal silicon as the channel material for transistors in stacked memory cells, as is the case with conventional DRAM, drives up manufacturing costs, and the power required t
