10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance Prepares to Debut World's Largest 10 GbE Interoperability Network; 10GEA Completes Successful Hot Stage With 25 10GbE Vendors.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NetWorld+Interop 2002 Las Vegas NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2002 The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance (10GEA GEA - Graph Extended ALGOL. Extension of ALGOL 60 for graph manipulation, on UNIVAC 1108. "A Language for Treating Graphs", S. Crespi-Reghizzi et al, CACM 13(5) (May 1970). ) today announced that it is preparing to showcase the largest 10 Gigabit Ethernet interoperability demonstration network ever. The network, which will be comprised of products from 25 network vendors, will be on display at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 7-9 in the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance's booth #6225. In preparation for the interoperability demonstration, the 10GEA hosted a hot stage April 17 - 19 at Key3Media's NetWorld+Interop hot stage facilities in Belmont, California. Over 100 people from all participating companies gathered to assemble the network and conduct pair and group testing. Those interested in witnessing the 10 Gigabit Ethernet interoperability demonstration and learning more about the technology and the status of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard effort are encouraged to come by the booth or visit the 10GEA's web site at www.10gea.org. About 10 Gigabit Ethernet Positioned as a high-speed, unifying technology for networking applications in LANs, MANs, and WANs, 10 Gigabit Ethernet will provide simple, high bandwidth at relatively low cost. In LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. applications, 10 Gigabit Ethernet will enable organizations to scale their packet-based networks from 10 Mbps to 10,000 Mbps, thereby leveraging their investments in Ethernet. In MAN and WAN applications, 10 Gigabit Ethernet will enable service providers and others to create extremely high-speed longer distance Ethernet links at very competitive cost.

About the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance was organized to facilitate and accelerate the introduction of 10 Gigabit Ethernet into the networking market. It was founded by networking industry leaders: 3Com (Nasdaq:COMS COMS 3Com Corporation (stock symbol) COMS Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist COMS Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems COMS City of Manchester Stadium (UK) ), Cisco Systems (Nasdaq:CSCO CSCO Cisco Systems Incorporated (stock symbol) CSCO Chief Supply Chain Officer ), Extreme Networks (Nasdaq:EXTR), Intel (Nasdaq:INTC INTC Intel (NASDAQ symbol) INTC Intercept INTC Interrupt Controller ), Nortel Networks (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :NT), SunMicrosystems (Nasdaq:SUNW SUNW Sun Microsystems, Inc (former stock symbol; now JAVA) SUNW Stanford University Network Workstation (Sun Microsystems, Inc) ), and World Wide Packets. Additionally, the Alliance supports the activities of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet committee, fosters the development of the 802.3ae (10 Gigabit Ethernet) standard, and promotes interoperability among 10 Gigabit Ethernet products.
