Between 09:30 and 16:00, there is a plenary program that takes you step-by-step into the world of Ethernet APL: from the fundamentals to concrete practical applications. Experts start with the basics: what is Ethernet APL and what is it not? We then delve deeper and deeper, with concrete applications, integrations, and insights into efficiency and scalability.

In addition, there is a live demo setup where you see interoperability in real life: products and components from different suppliers work together. You will discover how to combine systems and apply them directly in your own environment.
