Webinar: “Interoperability and the Ethernet Ecosystem”
Interoperability and the Ethernet Ecosystem webinar panelists will discuss the multivendor integration showcasing a live 400 GbE switch fabric, an implementation of Flex Ethernet (FlexE), 100Gb/s per lane over a direct attach cable (DAC) and analysis of PAM4 signaling, and a broad array of the latest Ethernet products and solutions. Providers of interconnects, switches and routers, and test and measurement equipment participated in the multivendor integration staged at Teledyne LeCroy, Inc., in preparation for the Ethernet Alliance’s demo at OFC 2020, scheduled for March 10-12, 2020 (the demo at OFC 2020 was subsequently canceled because of safety concerns related to COVID-19).
