Linear pluggable optics (LPO) is one of the most significant shifts in data center optical interconnect design in a decade — but the term still causes confusion. Is it a module type? A standard? A replacement for digital signal processing function or DSP-based optics entirely? This blog answers those questions from first principles. 

The USB Type-C connector has become the universal interface of modern electronics. From laptops and smartphones to Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing platforms and industrial edge devices, USB Type-C supports both high-speed data transfer and high-wattage power delivery through a single cable. With the adoption of USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.1 and its Extended Power Range (EPR), (Table 1) VBUS line voltages have scaled from the familiar 20V/100W standard power range to 28V, 36V and 48V — enabling power delivery of up to 240W over a USB-C cable.

フランスの自治体は、パイロットプロジェクトから本格的なIoT導入へと移行しており、 REX TCD Retours d'Expérience – Territoires Connectés et Durables (REX Connected and Sustainable Territories) has become the annual proving ground where that shift gets measured. Olivier Beaujard, Senior Director of the LoRa^® Ecosystem at Semtech and Chair of the Board at the LoRa Alliance^® attended the 3rd edition of REX TCD, held on June 16–17, 2026, at the Salons de l'Aveyron in Paris。今回のイベントで明らかになった、フランスにおけるコネクテッドエリア開発の現状と、LoRaWAN ^®その中心となりつつある理由について以下に述べます。
