What is Serial?
Serial communication is a method of transmitting data one bit at a time over a single communication line. It's commonly used for communication between devices like computers, microcontrollers, and peripherals. Examples include UART, SPI, and I2C protocols, employed for tasks like debugging, data logging, and device configuration.
What other technologies are related to Serial?
Serial Competitor Technologies
Ethernet
Ethernet is a network protocol that can be used as an alternative to Serial communication, especially for applications requiring higher bandwidth or network connectivity.
USB
USB is a serial communication protocol that can be used in place of other serial protocols.
CAN
CAN bus is a serial communication protocol commonly used in automotive and industrial applications, offering an alternative to standard Serial.
GPIB
GPIB is a parallel communication interface, but it competes with serial interfaces in instrumentation applications.
I2C
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication protocol, and is therefore an alternative to other Serial communication methods.
SPI
SPI is another serial communication protocol, so it serves as an alternative to the traditional Serial methods.
Ethernet/IP
Ethernet/IP is an industrial protocol running over Ethernet and is an alternative to serial-based industrial protocols.
Device Net
DeviceNet is a network protocol used in industrial automation. It is an alternative to serial protocols, especially in multi-device networks.

Serial Complementary Technologies
Modbus
Modbus is often implemented over serial communication (Modbus RTU/ASCII), so it is a protocol that works with and is complementary to Serial.
HART
HART is often used on top of 4-20 mA current loops which are inherently serial. It's complementary as it leverages existing serial infrastructure.
protocol analyzers
Protocol analyzers are tools used to monitor and analyze serial communication protocols. Therefore, they are complementary to Serial.
