Since 2018
Cooperation with SBB Cargo for the data communication backbone of the future Full Digital Freight Train
2022
PTB has the best results of the three candidate train backbone technologies in the DAC4EU tests.
European DAC Delivery Program (EDDP) shortlists Power PLUS Train Backbone as one of three candidates for Europe’s Full Digital Freight Train.
2022
Swiss DAC+ Test Train is designed and implemented for the testing of the main digital and automized train functions with PTB as train backone communication
2023
PLUS AVIONICS is chosen as a key data communication solution for the electrification for the future aircraft in the Dutch Luchtvaart in Transitie: Advanced Electrical Wiring project of Fokker ELMO.
2023
Results of the DAC+ tests with 1’000s of kilometers of test drives and more than 1’000 coupling cycles in real operational conditions in all seasons demonstrate that PTB reliably meets the communication requirements of the major train functions.
earned a PhD in semiconductor physics and began his career in communication technologies in the ABB Research Center Dättwil / Switzerland. He then worked for Ascom for 17 years, in the end as CTO and Head of Development, building and leading the group that made numerous prizewinning technological landmarks in PLC. In 2008, he joined HSLU, where he founded the Competence Center Intelligent Sensors and Networks which he lead until 2021. In 2014, he co-founded plc-tec AG.
has a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago in the USA and a MSc degree in Information and Communications Engineering from the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen in Germany. He started his career working at Ascom before joining HSLU in 2009 where he led the research group Communications Technologies. During his time at HSLU he was the lead designer of the Power Line data bUS (PLUS) protocol. In 2014, he co-founded plc-tec AG.
received a MSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Dresden and a PhD in microelectronics from ETH Zurich. He has worked in the telecommunication industry as ASIC-Designer before joining Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in 2007, where he now leads a research group and teaches digital design and signal processing. In 2014, he co-founded plc-tec AG.
earned a PhD in semiconductor physics in the team of Nobel laureate Klaus von Klitzing and began his career in the semiconductor industry. He became SVP of Infineon’s Corporate Research department in 2006. In 2010 he took over the leadership of the rail communication specialist duagon AG. Under his leadership, duagon developed many landmark products and grew by a factor of ten. He will support plc-tec to realize its mission to become the leader for powerline communication technology in rail.
