As standards bodies and vendors gear up for Ethernet to speed up all the way to all the way out to 100 Gbps, end users are also going to need confidence that their kit will do what it says on the box – and that it'll be interoperable.

The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) announced expanded interoperability testing and support for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (40G/100G) including 25Gb/s serial-lanes, Power over Ethernet (PoE), Backplane Ethernet and Automotive Ethernet. This activity is taking place within several of the UNH-IOL’s consortia and collaborative testing programs.
A few months ago, I posted an blog about compliance testing of PoE equipment (or the lack thereof). In the article, I discussed the need for a compliance or certification program that would give end users the security and peace of mind that their PoE equipment will be safe and that it will interoperate with other certified PoE equipment. I am very happy to let you know that the Ethernet Alliance (EA) is investigating creating just such a program. The...
BEAVERTON, OR, JULY 9, 2014 - The Ethernet Alliance, a global consortium dedicated to the continued success and advancement of Ethernet technologies today announced it is inviting the Ethernet ecosystem as a whole to join it in an open discussion of a proposed Ethernet Alliance Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology logo certification program (#LogoPoE). The discussion will be held via conference call, beginning at 8:00am PDT on August 27, 2014. The Ethernet Alliance is reaching out to the industry to...
Whether you need to transmit and receive data over a few millimeters of PCB trace or across an ocean, you can choose from a variety of instruments and software to test how well your data-communications link is working. To address applications ranging from I2C to 400 GbE and beyond, vendors are debuting new instruments, upgrading existing ones, and introducing software enhancements to handle challenging data-communications measurement tasks.
The Ethernet Alliance announced the summary results of its Higher Speed Ethernet (HSE) subcommittee interoperability plugfest for products designed to support IEEE Std. 802.3ba-2010, 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet. This is the second such interoperability event hosted by the Ethernet Alliance; the first event was held in September of 2010.
The Ethernet Alliance announced the release of a collection of new white papers including two interoperability white papers. The first interoperability white paper details the test results of the Higher Speed Ethernet (HSE) subcommittee’s plugfest for products designed to support IEEE Std. 802.3ba-2010, 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet. The second interoperability white paper covers the Ethernet in the Data Center subcommittee’s data center bridging (DCB) plugfest that included the first interoperability testing of IEEE Std. 802.1Qau-2010 Congestion Notification (QCN).
