Software stack for automotive audio/video certified by AVnu Alliance

June 7, 2016

Excelfore, a company working in connected car platforms, has announced that its Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) software stack platform for audio networking as well as video end points has achieved AVnu Certification, becoming the first AVB/TSN software reference module to bear the AVnu-certified logo.

The AVnu Alliance is an industry consortium driving open, standards-based deterministic networking; it grants its certification mark to those devices that have passed all interoperability testing conducted by its third-party testing house, the...

Industry events demonstrate Ethernet speeds

July 15, 2015

Ethernet's ability to evolve is a true testimony to its design. Starting at 10 Mbps in 1983, Ethernet now tops out at 100 Gbps with 400 Gbps in the works. During the week of June 22, 2015, the Ethernet community came together at the UNH-IOL in Durham NH for two events that kept Ethernet moving forward. I attended the events on June 23 and met with John D'Ambrosia, chair of the Ethernet Alliance and Jeff Lapak, Senior Manager, Ethernet Technologies...

Ethernet Standards Ramp Up For Faster IT

July 1, 2015

"Fast IT" has become a marketing slogan, and is also a very real challenge for today's IT professionals. But rolling out new applications on the fly, providing continuous improvement, and adapting to changes and feedback in real time can only happen if your basic IT infrastructure is extremely sound.

In pursuit of this robust architecture, the Ethernet Alliance held its largest plugfest to date at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), last week. Engineers from 23 companies...

Ethernet industry builds on innovation

February 25, 2015

This year is shaping up to be an active one for Ethernet as the industry builds on innovations that occurred in 2014. The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, stands ready to support the industry with expanded interoperability testing and support for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (40G/100G), according to Jeff Lapak, senior manager, Ethernet Technologies, at UNH-IOL. The lab sees considerable interest in 40G...

Whither Ethernet

February 3, 2015

Ethernet is spreading—enemies might say metastasizing—into applications far beyond its original use as a local network for workstations. This spread is pushed forward by three primary factors: Ethernet’s culture of standardization and interoperability, reduced price of components because of economy of scale, and the rapid evolution of foundational signaling technology that culture makes possible. At the same time, Ethernet is being pulled into new applications by increasing computerization and the absence of robust common interconnect standards (Figure 1). This pull...

Ethernet Revs for Connected Cars

January 5, 2015

As you may have already noticed via that pesky “check engine” light, cars today are highly computerized. From monitoring engine temperature to whether your gas cap is open, even the least-expensive, bare-bones car has some sort of computer in it.
