UNH-IOL gears up for 40G/100G testing

With 40 Gbps/100Gbps Ethernet networks beginning to appear, The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) has added 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium to cover the recently published IEEE 802.3ba standard. The lab, well known for its impartial testing services, typically holds “plugfests” where consortium members can test their equipment. UNH-IOL engineers often participate on standards committees. Students and staff develop in-house testing tools, providing consortium members with access to those tools and to lab facilities.
