Ethernet has become a ubiquitous data service platform for enterprises, but it continues to evolve, and among its latest iterations is an automotive version, designed to provide connectivity within a car over a single pair of wires.

The ITU has formally approved the G.fast standard that will deliver broadband with speeds of up to 1Gbps over the existing copper wires between premises and fibre-equipped street cabinets. The new standard is a step up in speed and frequency from the VDSL2 systems currently used to deliver faster speeds - typically 40 or 80Mbps - than ADSL2.
G.fast, the technology that will bring 1-Gig speeds to DSL, reached a milestone Friday as the members of the ITU awarded final approval to the standard.
The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) recently announced some of the steps it will take in 2015, within several of its consortia and collaborative testing programs, to prepare the networking industry for innovations in Ethernet technology. Among the planned activities is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) plugfest the lab will carry out in collaboration with the Ethernet Alliance. The plugfest will be “focused on IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards relevant to IP cameras, wireless access points, automation, and...
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.
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) is a neutral, third-party laboratory that tests networking and data communications products for quality assurance. According to the UNH-IOL, its facility occupies more than 32,000 square feet and houses a “multi-million dollar array of test equipment and the latest devices from member companies.” These companies exchange their devices and support for interoperability and conformance testing against other vendors’ devices at the lab. The lab also provides hands-on experience to the UNH graduate...
Recent product announcements prove the NVMe (NVM Express) revolution is underway and is expected to continue with a wave of new products hitting the market in the coming months. Through its NVMe Testing Consortium, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) gives subsystem vendors, silicon vendors, IP companies and enterprise storage companies an early, competitive advantage to test and prepare their NVMe products for market prior to the widespread introduction of NVMe SSDs.
The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) is opening up its OpenFlow Conformance Testing Program to non-members as of today, with the aim of extending the software-defined networking (SDN) ecosystem.
The Open Networking Foundation, an SDN advocacy organization, today announced it's opening its conformance testing program to non-members. The change should make it easier for carriers to find OpenFlow-compliant hardware and software, as well as making it easier for conformance testing labs to make money.
