SYSTIMAX Solutions™ today announced that it is now a principal member of the Ethernet Alliance, an industry group dedicated to the continued success and expansion of Ethernet technology. SYSTIMAX Solutions expects to play a key role in assisting the Ethernet Alliance to fulfill its mission of helping member companies increase acceptance and reduce time-to-market of Ethernet products by supporting the advancement of existing and emerging Ethernet technologies.
"The Ethernet Alliance is committed to the continued success and expansion of Ethernet technology and SYSTIMAX Solutions is pleased to participate and support this alliance as a principal member,” said Luc Adriaenssens, Senior Vice President of R&D and Technology. "With the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard expected to be ratified this summer, the Alliance will have a host of new technologies to promote and support. We are excited to be able to utilize our experience with 10 Gigabit Ethernet over UTP cabling in order to aid the Alliance in its mission to promote industry awareness and advancement of Ethernet technology and products.”
Unlike past alliances that support single IEEE 802 Ethernet projects, the Ethernet Alliance will exist for as long as it remains relevant to IEEE 802 Ethernet technology. Its mission is to support IEEE 802 Ethernet projects in a number of ways, including:
• Speeding acceptance and time-to-market for new Ethernet markets and technologies;
• Cultivating efforts to define and develop new Ethernet technologies; and
• Educating Ethernet users on their choices and implementations for various applications.
Moreover, the Ethernet Alliance removes the barrier of start-up and organizational issues that surround individually dedicated efforts, potentially saving both time and money.
“Within days of our public launch, the Ethernet Alliance received numerous requests from companies who wanted to join. These members truly represent the diversity of Ethernet supporters from the carrier to the consumer,” said Brad Booth, president, Ethernet Alliance. “We are especially pleased to have SYSTIMAX Solutions as a member of the Ethernet Alliance and look forward to adding their unique expertise in this area to our organization.”
