As we mentioned last time, there was an entire industry built around using TDM bandwidth efficiently due to the compelling economics of building corporate private-line networks. By the late 1980s, ...

Packet-switching networks -- networks which break data up into chunks called packets before transport -- help make your business communications stable and efficient. Once used only for data ...

Network protocols are formal standards and policies consisting of rules, procedures, and formats that define how data is exchanged over networks. They ensure that devices can communicate effectively, ...

Verizon Communications announced a deal with Nortel Networks on Tuesday, the latest carrier moving to add packet-switching technology to its voice network. Other carriers are also slowly moving toward ...

Packet switching is a network transmission method that sees data sent in small blocks called packets rather than as a continuous stream. Sending data in this way helps to improve the robustness and ...

A digital network technology that breaks up a message into smaller chunks (packets) for transmission. Unlike circuit switching in traditional telephone networks, which requires the establishment of a ...

To design communications systems, an engineer may have to juggle several protocols running across a backplane. There are several common strategies to handling the interface for those protocols.

Networking is a new concept for many embedded engineers. The goal of this book, therefore, is to provide a bridge that spans from basic concepts to how to add networking functionality to an embedded ...

Finchetto develops photonic packet switch eliminating electronic control bottlenecks Dual-wavelength innovation enables optical routing without electronic memory slowdown Future-proof passive optics ...
