The SDVoE Alliance announced Yamaha has joined the Alliance as an adopting member. 

“We are pleased to welcome Japan-based Yamaha Corporation to the SDVoE Alliance,” said Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance. “The SDVoE Alliance has invested significantly in growing our presence and strengthening relationships in Japan. We introduced a Japan Marketing Committee and a Japanese-language website to further support our partners. The addition of Yamaha Corporation is another example of our continued growth in Japan.”

For over 25 years, Yamaha has manufactured network equipment in Japan. In 1987, the company introduced its first large-scale integrated circuit (LSIC) for communication, based on its digital audio processing technology. Yamaha developed its own network devices, which have been adopted in various applications, including corporate offices and retail and hospitality industries.
