Ethernet Standardization Seminar March 28, 2014
A seminar featuring two guest speakers, John D'Ambrosia,
Chief Ethernet Evangelist, CTO Office, Dell Inc. and David Law,
Distinguished Engineer, HP Networking will be held on Friday,
March 28
from 10:15-11:45am in 112 Chambers. Our guests will discuss how
Networking has transfigured the world as we know it, and the
networking
technology that, arguably, has had the largest impact is Ethernet.
However, it is not just the underlying technology of Ethernet that
has driven its success, but the very fact that Ethernet has been
standardized in an open manner by the IEEE 802.3. In today’s
world, the industry has grown to demand the multi-source
interoperability that have come to be expected from IEEE 802.3
standards, raising the bar of expectations that products must be
meeting in order to be successful. For more details on the seminar

COWA in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic
Showcase, January 6 - 10, 2014
COWA was invited by the NSF to participate in this
year's Consumer Electronic
Showcase. Penn State sent three representatives and conducted
several live demonstrations of a working video transmission link
using light and a new accurate Indoor Positioning System using
visible light communication (VLC) technology. The key objective in
participating in the Show was to meet prospective companies and
explain the benefits of becoming a COWA member, leading to new
member deployment.

includes an interview with Mohsen Kavehrad, the W.L. Weiss Chair
Professor of Electrical Engineering.
Author Jay Harman interviewed Kavehrad on a
paper he published through a DARPA / AFRL project.
“We had discovered the dolphin chirps look
like wavelet waveforms we used to transmit optical pulses
through clouds,” Kavehrad said in an email. “The book is meant to
encourage people to get inspirations from nature to imagine and

New Book
Hardback
( ISBN-13:
9780521197878 )
Optical wireless communications is a dynamic area of research and
development. Combining fundamental theory with a broad overview,
this book is an ideal reference for anyone working in the field,
as well as a valuable guide for self-study. It begins by
describing important issues in optical wireless theory, including
coding and modulation techniques for optical wireless, wireless
optical CDMA communication systems, equalization and Markov chains
in cloud channels and optical MIMO systems, as well as explaining
key issues in information theory for optical wireless channels.
The next section describes unique channels that could be found in
optical wireless applications, such as NLOS UV atmospheric
scattering channels, underwater communication links and a
combination of hybrid RF/optical wireless systems. The final
section describes applications of optical wireless technology,
such as quantum encryption, visible light communication, IR links
and sensor networks, with step-by-step guidelines to help reduce
design time and cost.

Optical Wireless And Broadband Over Power Lines
Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2006, at 5 p.m. EST
University Park, Pa. ---
Penn State engineers have shown that a
white-LED system for
lighting and high data-rate indoor wireless communications,
coupled with broadband over either
medium- or low-voltage power line grids (BPL), can offer
transmission capacities that
exceed DSL or cable and are more secure than RF.

Penn-State Research News: Power Line Data Transmission Capacity:
Bigger than DSl or Cable.
January 5, 2005
University Park, Pa. -- Penn State
engineers have developed a new model for high-speed broadband
transmissions
over U.S. overhead electric power
lines and estimate that, at full data rate handling capacity, the
lines can provide bit rates that far exceed DSL or cable over similar spans.
