Vitesse Demonstrates World's First 400mW Gigabit Ethernet PHY; Vitesse Raises Benchmark Again, 400mW at GbE Speeds on Full 100m Cable, Representing Significant Power and Cost Savings for OEMs and ODMs.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :VTSS VTSS Vehicle Theft Security System VTSS Vancouver Technical Secondary School ), the market leader in Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. ICs, today announced the company has successfully demonstrated the industry's first 400mW integrated Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PHY See physical layer and physical. , lowering power consumption by up to 50 percent compared to previous solutions. Tested over full 100m cable lengths with continuous traffic, the prototype super low power GbE PHY reinforces Vitesse's technology leadership in GbE integrated circuits and will become the foundation for future products in the SimpliPHY(TM) and SparX(TM) families. In February 2006 the company raised the bar on low power to 600mW for its SimpliPHY(TM) VSC VSC Vehicle Stability Control VSC Vermont State Colleges (Waterbury, Vermont) VSC Vessel Safety Check (USCG Auxilliary) VSC Vehicle Skid Control VSC Vermont Service Center 8601 and VSC8641, and with this announcement Vitesse again sets the pace for the industry. Vitesse will be demonstrating the 400mW GbE PHY during the Interop event in Las Vegas from Monday, May 2nd through Thursday, May 4th in booth #125 ER01 in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center The Mandalay Bay Convention Center is one of the largest privately owned and operated convention centers in the world. The 1 million square foot facility is owned by MGM Mirage. It is attached to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and adjacent to the Mandalay Bay Events Center. . "Vitesse's Ethernet Products Division is focused on accelerating the transition from 10/100 to Gigabit Ethernet while at the same time leveraging our technology expertise to bring strategic advantages to our customers through integration, performance and power," said Martyn Humphries, vice president and general manager of the Ethernet Products Division at Vitesse. "By providing a super low power PHY, we are removing the barriers and enabling GbE in a much broader range of applications where power dissipation considerations previously prevented the use of this high-speed connectivity technology." Power savings in a highly integrated chip helps optimize PC board space and simplify board design to lower component count, improve reliability and performance, and reduce circuit and system risk. Delivering 600mW in its current SimpliPHY(TM) VSC8601 and VSC8641 and now achieving the 400mW benchmark, Vitesse brings its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) A contract manufacturer that uses its own designs and intellectual property (IP). See contract manufacturer. customers the industry's best performance, lowest power GbE chip on the market as well as the assurance that the company will continually improve upon its leading GbE technology. OEMs and ODMs can utilize the low power chips to build cost-effective solutions for a broader set of applications including power sensitive appliances such as laptops, PDAs and servers. Vitesse marks its presence at Interop in Las Vegas by underscoring its technology leadership both through the demonstration of the 400mW GbE PHY and by showcasing its newly announced E-StaX-34(TM) switch-on-a chip (SoC) product, the industry's first low cost stackable Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch designed to bring affordable GbE to entry level applications. The combination of the super low power GbE PHY and E-StaX-34 allows Vitesse to extend its customer reach to new OEMs and ODMs while building loyalty with existing customers by enhancing its value proposition with a diverse and industry-leading product line. At the same time, Vitesse accelerates the transition to Gigabit Ethernet by making the technology more available and affordable. The 400mW GbE PHY demonstration, E-Stax-34 and other products from the Vitesse Ethernet Products Division can be seen Monday, May 2nd through Thursday, May 4th in booth #125 ER01 in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center at Interop, Las Vegas.
