Georgia Tech to
provide UXPi compliance testing
Georgia Institute of Technology has joined the Unified 10Gbit/s Physical-Layer Initiative to proliferate a common 10Gbit/s physical layer cross-market standard
Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) has joined the Unified 10Gbit/s Physical-Layer Initiative (UXPi) to proliferate a common 10Gbit/s physical layer cross-market standard to simplify and accelerate the implementation of next-generation 10Gbit/s systems. A Georgia Tech research centre, the Georgia Electronic Design Centre (GEDC), will provide UXPi-based compliance testing for the characterisation of multi-gigabit elements for serial communications.

Dr Joy Laskar and Joseph M Pettit, Professor of Electronics and Director of the GEDC, will be leading Georgia Tech's UXPi research efforts.
'Getting neighbouring chips, boards and computers to interconnect and communicate without bottlenecks is a key challenge to ubiquitous computing and communications', says GEDC Director Laskar.
'Georgia Tech's role in this alliance is to expand the industry's understanding of the next generation 10Gbit/s physical layer, and we'll do that, in part, by leveraging a state-of-the-art testbed with an advanced integration platform'.
'UXPi is excited to start this strategic relationship with GEDC.
This will provide a focal point for developing and providing testing methodology for verifying performance to UXPi-aligned standards', says Ed Suder from Texas Instruments, and Vice Chairman of UXPi.
Interest has been growing in UXPi since five companies launched the effort in September 2002.
The industry trend toward serial connectivity will reduce system costs, simplify system design and provide scalability to meet emerging bandwidth requirements.
UXPi's successes will complement and contribute to existing and upcoming standardisation efforts by multiple industry bodies; a broad representation of industries among member companies will multiply the reach of UXPi efforts.
UXPi encourages any company with an interest in this technology to apply for membership.
