Entridia introduces wire-speed multi-Gigabit router chip
Entridia is announcing the introduction of Wisper, the first of a family of dedicated IP routing solutions. The company calls Wisper (Wire-Speed Edge Router) the industry's first fully integrated IP edge router IC that delivers wire-speed Quality of Service (QoS) and prioritized forwarding. Entridia says by integrating route processing, packet forwarding, and active bandwidth management into a single IC, Wisper introduces improvements to current router systems and reduces time-to-market of next generation Internet-based converged communications systems. Wisper delivers 6.4 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth with integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, and allows for connectivity to Gigabit Ethernet and OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 Packet-over-SONET (PoS) links via Entridia's OptiStream interface.

Intersil endorses IEEE 802.11 QoS solution
Intersil Corporation, provider of silicon technology for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), announced today its endorsement of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) Quality of Service (QoS) baseline for deployment of video streaming, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and multimedia related services for the home and enterprise. Intersil, along with other WLAN industry leaders, endorses the IEEE 802.11 QoS baseline as being the most complete and highest performing QoS solution for home, enterprise and small office applications. The new enhancements, in combination with the IEEE 802.11 high-data-rates, provide a significant advantage to 802.11-based WLAN users by allowing immediate migration to new multimedia applications. The IEEE document, referred to as a baseline, is crafted to provide several levels of performance specifically tailored to take maximum advantage of all available data rates from 11 megabits-per-second (Mbps) to 54 Mbps. No other proposal is capable of achieving these high data rates. The multi-tiered performance levels range from basic Internet applications to high quality video streaming and support for voice applications. Additionally, the 802.11 baseline is the only QoS solution that includes enhanced security functions.
Ixia releases new optical interface card
