| How will Ethernet Speeds Coexist in the Datacenter? 100Gb Ethernet and Interoperability with Legacy Networks
Description: Interoperability validation for new 100Gb Ethernet based devices is critical for establishing specification conformance, consumer confidence, and adoption into current enterprise applications. Ensuring these new devices also work in conjunction with legacy products and in existing data center infrastructures is even more important. This webinar will review the observations and preliminary results of the May 2023 Ethernet Alliance Interop PlugFest, held at the UNH-IOL. This recent plugfest focused testing resources on verifying the 100GbE solutions from a broad segment of the Ethernet ecosystem. We’ll also preview the proposed testing matrix for the next PlugFest.

| Ethernet in Design (100Gb/s Lane Rate)
Duration: 90 minutes Abstract: The next generation of Ethernet has been defined with the recently published IEEE 802.3ck standard based on 100Gb/s lane rates (PAM4 signaling at 53 GBd). This panel of Ethernet Alliance members will provide an overview of this new standard, reviewing some of the key content, changes from previous technologies, as well as highlighting some of the challenging aspects of the design. Additionally the session will include demonstration results of Ethernet variants at 53 GBd i.e. 100 Gb/s per lane showing BER performance, FEC statistics, packet tests over different media types such as backplane, DAC and optical fiber. Lastly, this panel also includes a discussion of the recent plugfest that Ethernet Alliance members held where 100Gbps per lane signaling was tested with some of the member benefits from participation.

| Enhancing PoE Experience
The Ethernet Alliance test labs continue to identify Power over Ethernet devices failing to fully comply with IEEE 802.3 standards. Devices that don’t comply may not work as expected leading to interoperability issues over the lifetime of your PoE network. Designers and users of PoE equipment can prevent these problems and related downtime by ensuring IEEE 802.3 PoE interoperability through the Ethernet Alliance PoE Certification program. In this webinar, experts from the program share their stories how the certification process leads to better products and more confidence in operation. Moderator: David Tremblay, EA PoE Subcommittee Chair, Aruba HPE Panelist:

| Single Pair Ethernet in Operational Technology Networks
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a keystone technology for Operational Technology (OT) networks. At once bringing Ethernet to the network edge and normalizing the network protocol across the Enterprise, we’ll see SPE replace legacy protocols, reduce siloed applications and increase the cybersecurity posture for businesses; in short, greatly increasing the network value. In this session, industry experts discuss the current state of SPE in OT networks, near term migration to SPE, and future standards that will expand and strengthen the SPE ecosystem.
