This technical expertise is being ported to the high speed Data Communications market place which seeks to build higher bandwidth data networks, including the next generation internet. A new 10 Gbps Ethernet standard is being developed by the IEEE 802.3ae working group . This activity is supported by Gennum staff. The standard for this large data communications market is expected to be complete by March 2002.
Draft standards are available now.
Gennum is also a member of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance , and is developing SiGe and CMOS semiconductor products for this marketplace. The market for Storage Area Networks is growing rapidly. Gennum participates in Task Group T11.2 responsible for Fibre Channel Variants, and has proposed innovative approaches for increasing the bandwidth and extending the reach of low cost copper interconnect solutions. Gennum is developing products for this market. Gennum Employment Opportunities Gennum is hiring high speed IC design engineers, high speed test engineers and senior datacom marketing staff.
