DURHAM — Robots (and their teenage controllers) will invade the University of New Hampshire’s Whittemore Center March 21 and 22, when UNH hosts the 2015 District FIRST Robotics Competition for the second year.
Nearly 2,000 high school students representing nearly 40 teams from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut will participate in the competition that’s been called a “varsity sport for the mind.”
BER test method uses real data
March 2, 2015
Today's methods for BER (bit-error-rate) testing of high-speed serial links such as PCIe and SATA rely on predetermined patterns that don't represent real-world situations. These patterns use a defined amount of jitter sent through a precise channel from a DUT's transmitter to its receiver; the DUT runs in a loopback state. Obtaining a valid BER measurement requires at least a trillion bits. The BER measurement is difficult to perform because of the test equipment needed and the setup to properly...
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...
Modernization of mobile storage
February 24, 2015
At the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), we are fortunate to be able to follow technology developments in a number of areas, and watch as they go from sketches on a whiteboard to actual shipping products.
Sometimes these developments happen in their own bubbles, other times there are not so coincidental coincidences, where several industries are able to take advantage of technology originally developed for one community. We may be watching that happen right now as technologies...
G.fast Promises Faster DSL Over Existing Wiring
February 10, 2015
G.fast—the latest and fastest version of DSL—may eventually deliver a super-fast upgrade in speed to DSL users. Late last year, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) approved this new version of the digital-subscriber-line (DSL) standard for Internet access over the plain old telephone service (POTS), also known as the public switched telephone network (PSTN). POTS uses the massive installed base of unshielded twisted-pair wiring from telephone central office to the home or office.
