Test & Measurement World - April 1, 2006

You may not think of New Hampshire as a hotbed for data-communications testing, but you should. The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory has the respect of just about every maker of data-communications equipment. The UNH-IOL currently tests products in 20 technology categories, including Ethernet, DSL, IPv6, Serial Attached SCSI, Serial ATA, Fibre Channel, and Wi-Fi. Companies join the UNH-IOL to take advantage of its heavily equipped test beds and extensive technical resources.
