<<WLAN 802.11B >> yeah...and it's a commodity already too. Most interesting and timely was todays PR release!!! Maybe these clowns should read the headlines before they pump out some vaporware PR for the...(drum roll, please) telecom sector!!! WOAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHA!!!! Simply a product that nobody needs...nor will need anytime soon! Nice try!! =========== "``We have worked with Broadcom on our Xenpak transceiver development and look forward to our efforts on these new high-speed XFP modules,'' said Dennis Karst, General Manager, Datacom Products, JDS Uniphase Corporation. ``Broadcom's EyeOpener technology addresses a critical XFP module function for transmitting and receiving 10Gbps over standard PCB FR-4 material.'' The XFP specification is a development activity promoted by Broadcom, Brocade, Emulex, Finisar, JDS Uniphase, ICS-Sumitomo, Maxim, ONI Systems, Tyco Electronics, Velio and more than 40 other companies. ``Our focus is to enable broadband applications by developing leading-edge technologies to remove bottlenecks throughout LAN, MAN and WAN networks,'' said Marty Colombatto, Vice President and General Manager of Broadcom's Networking Business Unit. ``This breakthrough technology allows our OEM and service provider partners to simplify and expand their networks today and in the future.'' Broadcom demonstrated the capabilities of EyeOpener to several of its Early Development Partners at the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) last month in Anaheim, California. A Tyco HM-Zd backplane with over 30 inches of FR-4 and two connectors was used to demonstrate the BCM8102 running at 10 Gbps error- free. Another demonstration included a complete Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) with EyeOpener running at 5 Gbps over a similar Tyco backplane. ``Broadcom is one of the recognized industry leaders in SerDes technology,'' said John D'Ambrosia, Manager, Semiconductor Relations, for Tyco Electronics. ``Tyco Electronics is excited about Broadcom's latest achievement in being able to transmit serial 10 Gbps data using our Z-PACK HM-Zd connector. This will allow our two companies to develop new architectures together and help the industry to overcome the bandwidth bottleneck it faces in data transmission across backplane environments.''
