Road to 100G(2)

The Road to 100G Alliance was formally announced on June 19, 2007 at the NXTcomm 2007 show in Chicago, Illinois USA . The founding members are Bay Microsystems, Enigma Semiconductor, Integrated Device Technology (IDT), IP Infusion, An ACCESS Company, and Lattice Semiconductor.

The alliance is not a standards body, but claims it will deliver proven solutions in the form of complete system designs. It is headquartered in the Silicon Valley area of California. There is an annual fee to become a member of the Road to 100G Alliance.

Although 100G is generally viewed in terms of Ethernet (and sometimes referred to as 100GE or 100GbE), the Road to 100G Alliance plans to address non-Ethernet applications such as OTU-3/40G and soon to be developed OTU-4/100G applications as well.
