With VPNs growing in importance and security concerns rising, new security processor architectures are needed. The challenge is choosing the right architecture from the host of options being provided by [...]

The internet protocol has become the undisputed king of the hill in network-layer protocols in the 1990s. A number of factors have converged to bring this about. For one, the […]

At a time when communications may be the biggest driving force in electronics and the Internet is a household name, it's ironic that the infrastructure on which everything depends is […]

Listen to semiconductor vendors or WAN-access OEMs, and you might be forgiven for thinking a host of new wideband and broadband access technologies are coming soon to a telco central […]

The success of global-positioning system (GPS) terminals in business and consumer markets has raised the hopes of aerospace OEMs that a user market will soon be ready for personal-communications service […]

The expectation of only a year or two ago was that the issue of analog vs. digital Internet access in homes and small offices was supposed to have been solved […]

At the end of the 1980s, the open systems interconnect (OSI) advocates had grandiose plans to manage LANs and WANs through complex seven-layer protocols. Their plans were destroyed, however, by […]

Conventional wisdom would suggest that 1995 was a very spotty year for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, the cell-switching technology that was supposed to have epitomized the 21st century endpoint for both […]

All dressed up with nowhere to go: component vendors serving the wireless data market for in-building or wide-area services can be forgiven if that's how they feel. They have made […]

Now that LAN- and WAN-hardware designers have agreed on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching as the great equalizer, everyone is settling into a common design methodology of conducting all communications […]

While the viability of switching and routing information in the optical domain has been demonstrated at small testbeds at UCLA, the University of Colorado and other institutions, real-world networking entails […]

The craze for constructing complex mixes of intranets and extranets has led to a common suite of Internet Protocol tools being applied both to virtual LANs within the enterprise and […]

Dallas -- Amid the din of continued scrapping over modulation air interfaces for digital wireless services, the PCS '97 conference here last week quietly launched breakthroughs in infrastructure components that […]

Montreal - The traditional boundaries separating wireline, optical and wireless networks blurred virtually beyond distinction here last week at the IEEE's International Conference on Communications. Keynote speaker John McClennan, chief […]

In the Internet era, where residential and small-business users alike remain bandwidth-challenged by their analog phone-service dial-up speeds, wideband and broadband relief is on the way from any number of […]

Design SuperCon, a four-in-one conference promoted as a venue where engineers talk to other engineers, emphasized tactical pragmatism in its first two years. Basically, design engineers gathered to talk about […]

Atlanta - If the Networld+Interop (N+I) show, opening today at the Georgia World Conference Center, is viewed through the lenses of the open-system interconnection (OSI) seven-layer protocol stack, an interesting […]

Colorado outguns Utah, Idaho Denver - Just as the consumer confidence index shows little sign of a slowdown in the economy, employment trends for engineers in the Rocky Mountain region […]

As the telecommunications marketplace awaits single-chip asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) and very high bit-rate DSL (VDSL) transceivers, mixed-signal design talents are being stretched to the breaking point. Designers are […]

Progress in communication technology is often overshadowed by disappointment when what promised to be a revolution does not happen overnight. Many concepts introduced in the early 1990s have radically altered […]

Telecom 95/Special Report The Alpine city of Geneva will play host to close to 350,000 telecom specialists in an event that can only be described as the Olympics of the […]
