UNH-IOL Current Research

The UNH-IOL is committed to keeping pace with the evolution of communications technology. The lab is constantly in collaboration with many in the industry to develop test methodologies to validate new equipment and protocols. The lab can publicly disclose that we are currently working with the following technologies and industry forums with the intent of providing testing services in the near future.

If you believe UNH-IOL may be of service to you, your company, your industry forum and/or your standards effort, please feel free to contact us.

40/100G Ethernet

The next evolution in high-speed Ethernet is in the process of becoming a standard. The UNH-IOL continues tracking the development of the standard and is currently looking for founding members for its' 40/100G Ethernet Consortium.

For more information please contact our lead investigators in this area - Jeff Lapak and Dave Estes.

802.11n

The UNH-IOL is actively monitoring IEEE 802.11n: Enhancements for Higher Throughput and pursuing the development of test services for this technology.

For more information please contact our lead investigator in this area - Jeremy Kent.

Energy Efficient Ethernet

The UNH-IOL is actively monitoring IEEE 802.3az: Energy Efficient Ethernet and pursuing the development of test services for this technology.

For more information please contact our lead investigator in this area - Jon Beckwith and Jeff Lapak.

AV Bridging

The UNH-IOL is actively monitoring the work of IEEE 802.1's Audio/Video Bridging Task Group (formerly known as the IEEE 802.3 Residential Ethernet Study Group) as it develops solutions for time-synchronized low latency streaming services on 802 networks.

For more information please contact our lead investigator in this area - Jon Beckwith or Bob Noseworthy.

Broadband Forum TR-069

Broadband Forum TR-069, or CWMP (CPE WAN Management Protocol) is quickly becoming the standard of choice for remote management of subscriber networks. The UNH-IOL is working with the Broadband Forum by hosting Interoperability Plugfest and developing testing methodologies.

For more information please contact our lead investigator in this area - Jason Walls.

EXS - Extended Asynchronous Sockets Library

EXS is an implementation of the OpenGroups ES-API standard. It is open source under the GPL license and we plan on contributing it to the Open Fabrics Software Stack soon.
