Founding members are: 3Com, ADC, Agere Systems, AMCC, Aquantia, Broadcom, Force10 Networks, Foundry Networks, Intel, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Pioneer Corporation, Quake Technologies, Samsung, Sun Microsystems, Tehuti Networks, Tyco Electronics, The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory and Xilinx. They claim that the Alliance will bring a number of benefits to IEEE 802 ethernet projects including: accelerating acceptance and reducing time-to-market of new ethernet technologies; focusing efforts to identify and specify new areas of ethernet standardisation; continued market education on the application and benefits of ethernet solutions. Activities for 2006 will focus on three key areas: ethernet technology incubation, interoperability demonstrations and education. To promote these, the Ethernet Alliance has started the incubation process for 100 gigabit ethernet, has initiated efforts to demonstrate 10GBASE-T, 10GBASE-LRM and backplane ethernet interoperability, and is planning to show consumer electronic applications. The Alliance's website is at http://www.ethernetalliance.org. |
