The Ethernet Alliance, a global consortium dedicated to the continued success and advancement of Ethernet technologies, today unveiled details of its upcoming multivendor interoperability demonstration in booth #460 at the 2023 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Glasgow, Scotland, October 2-4, 2023. Coupling a half-century of proven success with the latest advancements in speeds and next-generation technologies, the showcase exemplifies Ethernet's profound influence on a global scale.

“Throughout its five-decade journey, Ethernet has transcended barriers and boundaries, propelling itself into new markets and applications while stretching the limits of its capabilities,” said David J. Rodgers, chair, Ethernet Alliance Events & Conferences Committee. “The result of collaborative efforts by diverse stakeholders worldwide, Ethernet's narrative is inherently unifying and continues to grow, easily withstanding the test of time. Scaling from 10 Mb/s to now 800 Gb/s during the past 50 years, Ethernet continues to surprise and surpass competitive technologies by creating a more efficient whole network architecture from the data center to edge devices.”

The Ethernet Alliance is returning to ECOC with support from prominent companies representing the entire Ethernet landscape. Members participating in its interactive interoperability demo are AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:APH), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), Hyper Photonix Ltd., Keysight Technologies Inc. (NYSE:KEYS), Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS), Teledyne LeCroy Inc. (NYSE:TDY), and Xena Networks Inc.

Frequently a favorite destination with conference attendees, the Ethernet Alliance’s experiential exhibit at ECOC booth #460 encompasses a broad cross-section of industry-leading Ethernet products and solutions. With speeds ranging from 10GbE to 800GbE, among the technologies comprising its demo are copper and optical cabling and interconnects, switches, routers, transceivers, test and measurement equipment, and pluggable form factors such as OSFP, QSFP-DD, QSFP, and SFP.

In celebration of Ethernet’s 50th anniversary, the Ethernet Alliance’s ECOC booth will play host to the Grand Prize drawing for its ongoing Rock the Roadmap social media photo contest. Highlighting the industry’s only Ethernet roadmap, the Grand Prize drawing for a collector’s edition of the Ethernet Alliance Ethernet Roadmap signed by Ethernet co-creator Robert M. Metcalfe, will take place at booth #460 on October 3, 2023. Please visit https://bit.ly/EARTR-ECOC23 for full contest details.
