We have put our energies in creating market and standardization of power line communication(hereafter PLC) that can contribute to constructing new ages of smart community(Environment・Energy・Economy concerning Society) with internal and foreign people for a long time. This commitment is an important field with high expectation not only in environment and energy but as an engine for new economy and industry. As there were various technologies of PLC mixed, users and industries were confused whether they should use it or not for a long time. However, high speed power line communication, "HD-PLC" was ratified as IEEE 1901 World Standard Technology in December of the year 2010. Formal specification was issued from IEEE in January of 2011. This standardization is the same IEEE standard as communication network LAN and wireless WiFi everybody using every day. This is the first time for Japanese technology to get IEEE standard ratification with full specification. This is just a start. Now we are able to use "HD-PLC" in a full-dress and apply widely. By widely sharing content, cases and information of usage in wide field application with everybody, We will enforce in popularization, efficiency of environment and power energy and contributing in new economy and industry. From now on, we will like to contribute to constructing green innovation society by actualization of new communication infrastructure having two way communication system in products, devices, and systems using electricity, and smart community construction. Why don't you join us?
