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.
