about the company
plc-tec AG develops and distributes Power Line Communication System (PLC) IP cores and reference design kits for highly reliable real-time applications, based on an in-house developed Power Line data bUS PLUS technology.
plc-tec AG
• specializes in the use of PLC in systems with safety-critical requirements. The fulfillment of these requirements requires advanced communication technology as well as design and development processes that comply with international functional safety standards such as RTCA DO-254/178, IEC 61508, etc.
• sets itself highest standards for its designs regarding quality, functionality (reliability, availability, real-time) and cost effectiveness.
• is a Swiss SME, founded as a spin-off of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences & Arts (HSLU) in 2014 with the goal to provide its customers PLC as an Enabling Technology for the competitional advantage of their products and systems, with reduced R&D risks and shorter time-to-market.
• aggregates more than 60 person years experience with PLC, starting in the early years of PLC developments in the 90s
• aggregates more than 30 person years experience in the design and realisation of Embedded Systems, Systems-on-Chip und ASICs.
• cooperates closely with its research partner Competence Center Intelligent Sensors and Networks of Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, a leading research group in PLC, safeguarding access to the latest research results in PLC and Mission-and-Time-Critical communications.
More than 25 years of experience in PLC
PLC for aircraft applications (EC projects ECAB, TAUPE, ASHLEY, MISSION, ADENEAS)
Members of plc-tec were involved in Ascom’s train passenger information systems development, e.g. of Ascom’s (today ANNAX) PLC Rail Gateway product
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 prize-winning technological breakthroughs in PLC. In 2008, he joined HSLU, where he founded the Competence Center Intelligent Sensors and Networks. In 2014, he founded plc-tec AG, a spinoff of HSLU.
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.
