The Ethernet Alliance will host a one-day Technology Exploration Forum (TEF) to discuss the future of Ethernet, including the next generation specifications and applications. This forum brings together experts and key players in the Ethernet industry to discuss and explore these areas. In addition to its own broad membership, which includes component vendors, system vendors, and end users, this event is open to non-Ethernet Alliance members. Together, these two constituencies provide a diverse set of backgrounds, ensuring lively discussion and helping the industry define a vision for the future of Ethernet.
