KeyEye Supports 10-GE Standard

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- KeyEye Communications, Inc., a leader in 10 gigabit-per-second (10 Gbps) copper-media Ethernet transceivers, has announced its support for the direction-setting votes taken last week at the meeting of the IEEE 802.3an Task Force, which is developing the industry standard (10GBASE-T) for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling.

The Task Force made significant progress in its work on the 10GBASE-T standard, selecting several requirements for standards-compliant communications. One of the Task Force’s requirements specified the use of a forward error correction technique known as low-density parity check (LDPC), rather than a competing scheme that relied on trellis coding. Another requirement specified was the use of Tomlinson-Harashima precoding.

“I was pleased both to be able to offer my extensive scientific findings regarding LDPC to the IEEE standards Task Force and with their subsequent selection of this technique to optimize communication performance in 10 Gbps links”, said Dr. Shu Lin, professor at the University of California, Davis.
