Industry events demonstrate Ethernet speeds
July 15, 2015
Ethernet's ability to evolve is a true testimony to its design. Starting at 10 Mbps in 1983, Ethernet now tops out at 100 Gbps with 400 Gbps in the works. During the week of June 22, 2015, the Ethernet community came together at the UNH-IOL in Durham NH for two events that kept Ethernet moving forward. I attended the events on June 23 and met with John D'Ambrosia, chair of the Ethernet Alliance and Jeff Lapak, Senior Manager, Ethernet Technologies...
Ethernet Standards Ramp Up For Faster IT
July 1, 2015
"Fast IT" has become a marketing slogan, and is also a very real challenge for today's IT professionals. But rolling out new applications on the fly, providing continuous improvement, and adapting to changes and feedback in real time can only happen if your basic IT infrastructure is extremely sound.
In pursuit of this robust architecture, the Ethernet Alliance held its largest plugfest to date at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), last week. Engineers from 23 companies...
Ethernet Alliance Hosts Largest 40G/100G Plugfest To-Date

Ethernet industry builds on innovation
February 25, 2015
This year is shaping up to be an active one for Ethernet as the industry builds on innovations that occurred in 2014. The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, stands ready to support the industry with expanded interoperability testing and support for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (40G/100G), according to Jeff Lapak, senior manager, Ethernet Technologies, at UNH-IOL. The lab sees considerable interest in 40G...
Vitesse Readies Industry For Small Form Factor IoT Networking
February 18, 2015
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fueled by the pervasiveness of the Internet of Things (IoT), global connectedness is projected to grow exponentially. Increased data volumes also intensify power consumption across the network, prompting government mandates for energy efficiency in consumer electronics, servers and data centers. Meanwhile, mission critical IoT applications require redundancy and the ability to anticipate potential downtimes.
Whither Ethernet
February 3, 2015
Ethernet is spreading—enemies might say metastasizing—into applications far beyond its original use as a local network for workstations. This spread is pushed forward by three primary factors: Ethernet’s culture of standardization and interoperability, reduced price of components because of economy of scale, and the rapid evolution of foundational signaling technology that culture makes possible. At the same time, Ethernet is being pulled into new applications by increasing computerization and the absence of robust common interconnect standards (Figure 1). This pull...
Ethernet Revs for Connected Cars
January 5, 2015
As you may have already noticed via that pesky “check engine” light, cars today are highly computerized. From monitoring engine temperature to whether your gas cap is open, even the least-expensive, bare-bones car has some sort of computer in it.
