In September 2001, Kansai Electric Power
Company (KEPCO), the world's eighth largest electric utility, Matsushita
Electric Works and Yitran Communications announced the formation
of LineCom, Inc., a joint venture company for the development of
power line telecommunication systems in Japan. LineCom will leverage
Kansai's knowledge of power distribution systems and technology
and Yitran's industry leading PLC (power line communications) technology to develop and deploy
a complete end-to-end solution for the provision of telecommunication
services over the existing power line infrastructure. Matsushita,
a leading wiring and information device/system provider in Japan,
will provide the JV with its expertise in system integration and
product design.
In October 2001, Yitran Communications completed
a multi-million dollar Joint Venture (called PremiNet) and Investment
Agreements with Kinden Corporation, Macnica Inc. and Alps Electric
Co. for the provision of Yitran PLC based home networking solutions
in Japan. All three companies are leading Tokyo Stock Exchange listed
companies bringing special expertise to the JV, Kinden in systems
integration and design, Macnica in high value added specialty semiconductor
distribution, sales and support, and ALPS in product design, development
and manufacture.
Yitran notes that its broadly patented, proprietary,
modulation and data transfer techniques provide the most robust
and reliable Power Line Communications.
Since 1996, the company has gained international recognition as
a fertile source and a leader for elegant solutions, technology,
