ADC KRONE Announces its Participation in The Ethernet Alliance
ADC KRONE (NASDAQ: ADCT; www.adc.com) announced today that it is a founding member of the Ethernet Alliance, an industry group dedicated to the continued success and expansion of Ethernet technology. ADC KRONE will play a key role in helping the Ethernet Alliance fulfill its mission of helping member companies increase acceptance and reduce time-to-market of Ethernet products by supporting the advancement of existing and emerging Ethernet technologies. In addition to ADC KRONE, founding members of the Ethernet Alliance include 3Com, Agere Systems, AMCC, Aquantia, Broadcom, Force10 Networks, Foundry Networks, Intel, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Pioneer Corporation, Quake Technologies, Samsung, Sun Microsystems, Tehuti Networks, Tyco Electronics, The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), and Xilinx.
Unlike past alliances that support single IEEE 802 Ethernet projects, the Ethernet Alliance will exist for as long as it remains relevant to IEEE 802 Ethernet technology and it will support IEEE 802 Ethernet projects:
By speeding acceptance and time-to-market for new Ethernet markets and technologies;
By cultivating efforts to define and develop new Ethernet technologies;
And by educating Ethernet users on their choices and implementations for various applications.
Moreover, the Ethernet Alliance removes the barrier of start-up and organisational issues that surround individually dedicated efforts, saving both time and money.
We are excited about being a founding member of the Ethernet Alliance and look forward to helping the organization advance Ethernet technology within the enterprise and beyond, said Pat OBrien, president of the Global Connectivity Business Unit for ADC KRONE. For our service provider customers, the writing is on the walldeploy Ethernet services or lose business and miss out on an expanding market. Ethernet is the least expensive way to offer low-cost bandwidth and it allows carriers to easily scale bandwidth to the exact amount requested by their customers.
