IEEE 802.3 Forms Group to Evaluate Next-Gen Ethernet Requirements

The Ethernet Alliance, an industry group focused on the success and expansion of Ethernet technology, on Tuesday announced that the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 working group has formed the Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) to evaluate the requirements for the next generation of Ethernet technology.

“By forming this study group, the industry is focusing its resources and talents on developing a higher speed of Ethernet that can accommodate what are already rapidly growing bandwidth demands,” said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at In-Stat. “With the support of the industry behind this effort, the HSSG can begin to explore the technical requirements and develop a higher-speed solution that is compatible with existing Ethernet technologies and will ensure the continued growth of the Internet and the networked world.”
