Ethernet Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ethernet Alliance includes component suppliers, industry experts, university and government professionals who formed a consortium to promote industry awareness, acceptance and advancement of Ethernet technology and products based on existing and emerging IEEE 802 Ethernet standards.
The eighteen founding members of the Ethernet Alliance are 3Com, ADC, Agere Systems, Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, Aquantia, Broadcom, Force10 Networks, Foundry Networks, Intel, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Pioneer Corporation, Quake Technologies (now AMCC), Samsung, Sun Microsystems, Tehuti Networks, Tyco Electronics, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), and Xilinx.
Formed in January 2006, the group seeks to unify all speeds and applications of Ethernet that over time has progressed through previous alliances (including the Fast Ethernet Alliance, the Gigabit Ethernet Alliance and the 10-Gbit Ethernet Alliance).
