Ethernet Alliance Background
While IEEE 802 Ethernet technology has existed for over 30 years, it has lacked an industry voice that represents the spectrum of standards-based Ethernet. The Ethernet Alliance serves the Ethernet industry to assist with the on-going incubation, development, interoperability testing and support of technologies based or dependent upon Ethernet standards.
Who we are:
The Ethernet Alliance is a global community that includes system vendors, component vendors, end users, industry experts and university and government professionals who are committed to the continued success and expansion of Ethernet technology.
Mission:
The Ethernet Alliance brings Ethernet standards to life by supporting activities that span from incubation to interoperability demonstrations, certification and education.
