The Case for a Classification Language
By Eric Rothfus
With the growing demand for programmability in networking systems, all aspects of the network design must be sped up to accommodate the demand,
including classification. Traditional classification languages are procedural and describe each task in detail, making them inherently slow. What’s needed is a language that simplifies the process, allowing the design engineer to focus on the protocol and not on the details of the language itself.
Flash Memory Choices for Portable Designs
By Doug Wong
Basic wireless products are fast becoming a way of life for many people. While the
foundation for a basic system is beginning to set, customers are already clamoring for more functionality. More functionality within the confines of a portable device requires designers to take another look at memory, and in particular the use of Flash memory.
Two-Way RF Technology Targets Low-Power Wireless Apps
By Jeff Robillard and Jim Wight
Using new modulation schemes, designers are now developing short-range wireless systems that
offer improved performance, better reliability, and longer battery life. By doing this, designers are moving from developing one-way systems to developing two-way products.
Emerging Technology Series #2: VoDSL: The Facts Behind AAL2
By George H. Dobrowski and Ajay Sharma
Often referred to as the “killer app,” voice over DSL (VoDSL) is being touted as a possible solution to the last-mile bottleneck. Asynchronous Transfer Mode
Adaptation Layer 2 and its allied protocols are part of the reason why VoDSL is a viable option. This article provides an overview of these protocols, how they work, and how they are impacting the telecom landscape.
