Power over Ethernet (PoE), is a technology for ethernet end devices that provides the ability to transmit and receive data, in addition to receiving power over the same cabling. It defines Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) which usually takes the form of an Ethernet Switch, and Powered Devices (PD) which are the end devices in need of power and vary greatly depending on their intended application. PoE has greatly simplified the design and installation of these applications

DURHAM, N.H., September 26, 2018 – The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, announced they will be demonstrating their FPGA test tool, BitPhyer, transmitting 100Mbps PAM3 signalling (100BASE-T1) at the Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Day from October 9-10, 2018 in London, England at booth #28. This two day event attracts OEM’s, suppliers, semiconductor vendors, tool providers, and more to share implementation strategies and...
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ethernet Alliance, a global consortium dedicated to the continued success and advancement of Ethernet technologies, today released results from its successful multivendor Higher Speed Networking Plugfest, held August 13 – 17, 2018 at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) in Durham, N.H. The latest in the group’s series of interoperability testing events shows the industry is actively embracing high-speed Ethernet technologies such as 400 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), PAM4-based electrical and optical signaling, and creating advanced...

The automotive industry is adopting self-driving cars as the next major evolutionary step in vehicular technology. However, improvements need to be made to data buses inside the car to support the additional data needed for a car to operate autonomously. Ethernet and the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) are replacing previous network technologies, allowing for the next generation of autonomous vehicles through faster data rates and lower latency.
Introduction
For the better part of the last...
The race to add more sophisticated and safety-critical electronics into cars is forcing carmakers to revisit the communications systems within increasingly electrified and connected vehicles.
Until very recently, communication between components within a vehicle was simplistic, and communication between vehicles was non-existent. All of that is changing quickly. Rapid and secure communication between more electronics within a car, between cars, and between cars and infrastructure are essential pieces of assisted and autonomous driving.
However, not all of the...
The Ethernet Alliance will begin prestandard testing of new Power over Ethernet (PoE) technologies during its February plugfest at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL).
Set to be held the week of Feb. 18, the plugfest will focus on prestandard testing of Power over Ethernet technologies against Draft 3.2 of the IEEE P802.3bt standard.
Upon completing the plugfest, the Ethernet Alliance and participating companies will have greater insight into the development of the IEEE’s PoE standard...
Power over Ethernet (PoE) has become the colloquial term used to describe any technology that allows an Ethernet device to transmit and receive data, as well as receive power over the same cabling. The benefits of using the same cable for both data and power are numerous. It allows power to be delivered to small devices without having an electrician wire new circuits or a transformer to convert ac to dc—also referred to as a wall wart. It can also...
With 380 million connected cars projected to be on the road by 2021, how will designers address the increased network strain?
By Bob Noseworthy, Chief Engineer, University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL)
This question presumes a situation I’m not yet convinced will be a reality, principally due to lack of the necessary infrastructure buildout. In a mere four years will we have 380 million “connected cars?” What is a Connected Car? How’s it differentiated from...
It may seem counter-intuitive, but the recent release of 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T Ethernet technologies are one way that standards have ramped up their responsiveness to industry need by slowing down the data rate. Several key technology spaces, such as wireless access points and servers, have increased their need for bandwidth since 1000BASE-T was standardized in 1999. While 10GBASE-T is a viable solution for many, it requires the physical cabling infrastructure to be at least Category 6A. Many existing installations in...
