Start with the news release IP core suitable for Broadcom-inclusive networks from Lattice Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lattice Semiconductor has announced the immediate availability of the HiGig MAC IP core for its low-cost LatticeECP3 FPGA range, for interconnecting multiple devices to operate as one logical network.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Kontron develops packet processor for 4G networks from Kontron: "Kontron has unveiled its second generation of AdvancedMC packet processor modules for 4G network applications, which features the Cavium Networks Octeon II CN6335 MIPS64 six-core processor. ".
 
In October 2010, we covered the news from Tyco Electronics - take a look at SFP+ cable assemblies enable 10Gb/s Ethernet apps which says: "The SFP+ copper and Paralight active optical cable assemblies offer a cost-effective alternative to standard fibre-optic cables in 10Gb/s Ethernet, 8Gb/s Fibre Channel and Infiniband applications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Altera, Quartus II v10.0 development suite for FPGA design, as well as Picoscope 9211A analyses cable functionality from Saelig, and Signal conditioner for copper interconnects from Maxim Integrated Products.
