A group of industry leaders have collaborated on a live demonstration of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interoperability, showing the ability to pass 100 GigE traffic between a router and an optical transport system using two different CFP optical transceivers implementing the IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-LR4 draft standard. The demonstration marks a significant step towards commercial availability of 100 GigE services at economic cost levels.
Infinera has successfully demonstrated 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) transmission using pluggable CFP optical transceiver modules from multiple vendors as it works towards developing commercial systems that can meet service provider and enterprise needs for 100 GigE services, which Infinera believes to be the next step in the evolution of Ethernet standards.
EnBW Energie Baden-Wurttemberg AG ("EnBW"), the third largest energy company in Germany, announced that it plans to build a solar park in Baden-Wuerttemberg using 5.5 MW of photovoltaic ("PV") modules produced by Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd.
