The Ethernet Alliance is excited to announce the start of a new monthly webinar series . These virtual discussions will be in various formats and will be hosted by the Ethernet Alliance on the ON24 platform.
Viewers will hear educational discussions as well as updates on innovations and technology announcements. From time to time, we’ll debate a hot take from the Ethernet industry! These webinars will be held once a month, focusing on a topic relevant to our vast Ethernet ecosystem. The events and topics will be grouped together so that we can do a deeper dive into specific areas.
COMING SOON
| Ethernet in Design (100Gb/s Lane Rate)
Date: Wednesday, June 7 Time: 10am PT/1pm ET 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.

| Ethernet in the Field (50Gb/s Lane Rate)
This first session covered the ongoing deployment of 50Gb/s technologies into the Ethernet ecosystem. Panelists provided an overview of these new protocols, discussing the changes and advancements compared to previous technologies. Speakers also covered the practical aspects of deploying a new Ethernet technology, such as infrastructure requirements, link establishment methodologies and maintaining legacy speed support, as well as interoperability challenges and common issues. We’ll include nomenclature clarifications and discuss the importance of testing along with the benefits of the ecosystem participating in the Ethernet Alliance High-Speed Networking (HSN) Plugfest. Stay tuned for the “Ethernet in Design (100Gb/s Lane Rate)” and “Ethernet in the Future (200Gb/s Lane Rate)” sessions coming soon.

| 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.
