Alliance forms to promote Ethernet
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 3/1/2006
The Ethernet Alliance is a newly formed group dedicated to the expansion of IEEE 802 Ethernet technologies. The Alliance aims to help member companies increase acceptance and reduce time-to-market of Ethernet products, and it will provide resources to demonstrate multi-vendor interoperability of IEEE 802 Ethernet products.
Activities for 2006 will focus on incubation of new technologies based on Ethernet standards, interoperability demonstrations, and education. Founding members of the Ethernet Alliance include firms such as Agere Systems, Intel, and Xilinx as well as the The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). www.ethernetalliance.org.
