Embedded Ethernet Applications Market
Ethernet semiconductor vendors will continue to reap benefits from existing fast Ethernet (FE) and gigabit Ethernet (GE) product lines during the 2007-2012 forecast period. However, the more attractive opportunity is the embedded Ethernet applications segment, particularly blade switching and storage networking. With a worldwide CAGR of 6.3% through 2011, this segment will encourage the long-awaited […]
Atmel Embedded Ethernet Networking Workshop
Avnet is hosting the Atmel Embedded Ethernet Networking SpeedWay Design Workshop. The event explains how to create an embedded Ethernet design using an ARM7(TM)-based microcontroller. Avnet is offering the workshops in locations throughout North America.
Ethernet continues to gain momentum as a connectivity standard, with a significant amount of growth fueled by embedded applications. As a […]
Multimedia Home Network
The emerging phase in home networks is a multimedia network that blends in consumer electronics (CE) devices, and although early adopters have been testing first-generation networked media devices, these devices are still far away from the average mainstream digital home, according to In-Stat. In fact, about two-thirds of those with home networks in the US […]
ZigBee Meshes Wireless Networks
According to In-Stat, ZigBee will emerge as the dominant wireless mesh networking technology. As most of you know, ZigBee is a networking layer that is built on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. And IEEE 802.15.4 is a unified standard for short-range, self-configuring wireless mesh networks (a blend of proprietary and non-proprietary implementations).
Here are some […]
