The IEEE 802.3 Working Group has formed a 100Gbps Ethernet Electrical Backplane and Twinax Copper Cable Assemblies Study Group. The call-for-interest was conducted by John D'Ambrosia of Force10 Networks and former chair of the recently ratified IEEE Std 802.3ba-2010.
Supporters of the initiative see a need to develop an electrical solution for 100GbE backplanes and short reach twinax cabling that operates at greater than 10Gbps per lane. The study group will have its first meeting as part of the IEEE 802.3 Working Group interim meeting.
"The Ethernet Alliance is delighted to assist in these important developments," said Jim Theodoras, president, Ethernet Alliance. "With the successful completion of industry's first 40G and 100G Ethernet interoperability testing in September and the live demonstration of the technology at SC10 in November, the Ethernet Alliance and its members continue to provide the industry with the most up-to-date information about these technologies, standards development status and interoperability testing."http://www.ethernetalliance.org

which specializes in highly-virtualized storage solutions with automated data management features, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $820 million, net of Compellent's cash.
This experimental project will test new fiber construction and operation methods, while delivering full gigabit speeds to approximately 850 faculty and staff owned homes on campus. Construction of the Stanford fiber network will begin in early 2011.
rollout with the first fibre laid today at Manaia View School in Whangarei. The announcement follows confirmation of a deal between Crown Fibre Holdings - the government agency set up to manage the Crown's $1.5 billion investment in UFB - and Northpower Limited. Under this arrangement, fibre will be rolled out to nearly 52,000 people in Whangarei by 2014, including more than 2,000 business premises, over 300 healthcare services, and more than 20 schools in the region.
has conducted a field trial of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) traffic using Alcatel-Lucent's service routing technology. The trial leveraged Alcatel-Lucent's existing 7750 Service Routers, 7450 Ethernet Service Switches, and the 5620 Service Aware Manager, which together form the base of True's converged IP/MPLS network.
market attained a record level in the third quarter of 2010, expanding by more than 25 percent compared with the same prior year period, and surpassing $1.5 billion, according to a new report from Dell'Oro Group. Cisco Systems improved their market share lead in the third quarter, while Alcatel-Lucent overtook Juniper Networks for the second position.
