• IEEE launches ethical design guide for AI developers

  ​As autonomous and intelligent systems become more pervasive, it is essential the designers and developers behind them stop to consider the ethical considerations of what they are unleashing.

• IoT groups are like an orchestra tuning up: The music starts in 2016

  If the Internet of Things didn't quite proliferate in 2014, at least IoT industry groups and standards bodies did.

• IEEE standards group wants to bring order to IoT

  The IEEE is embarking on an ambitious effort to build a overarching architecture for the Internet of Things, spanning a multitude of industries and technologies.

• Ethernet's 400-Gigabit challenge is a good problem to have

  As it embarks on what's likely to be a long journey to its next big increase in speed, Ethernet is in some ways a victim of its own success.

• IEEE sets standard for 'white spaces'

  A just-published standard for using the "white spaces" between TV channels could offer as much as 22M bps (bits per second) over distances as great as 100 kilometers (62 miles).

• Ethernet vendors racing to meet demand

  Ethernet vendors will need to develop faster products more quickly to keep up with the demand being created by mobile and cloud computing, some participants at an industry group meeting said on Tuesday.

• IEEE seeks data on Ethernet bandwidth needs

  The IEEE has formed a group to assess demand for a faster form of Ethernet, taking the first step toward what could become a Terabit Ethernet standard.

• IEEE approves next WiMax standard

  The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has approved IEEE 802.16m, the standard for the next generation of WiMax, which may deliver downstream speeds of more than 300M bps (bits per second).

• 100G Ethernet stays pricey as speed needs soar

  Virtualization, video and massive amounts of data are all driving enterprises and service providers toward 100-Gigabit Ethernet, but the cost of the fledgling technology remains prohibitively high and few products have been installed, industry observers said at the Ethernet Technology Summit.

• The push is on to cut 100G Ethernet's price

  Less than a year after 100-Gigabit Ethernet was standardized, an industry group is considering a set of specifications that might make the high-speed technology less expensive and more useful.

• Samsung WiMAX 2 test hits 330Mbps

  Yes, it's only a demonstration. Even so, Samsung's trial of WiMAX 2 technology that touched speeds of 330Mbps is still impressive.

• 'WiMAX 2' set to be finalized in November

  While LTE starts rolling out from major U.S. carriers in 2011, the WiMAX Forum is hoping to have the so-called WiMAX 2 standard up and ready to go by the start of 2012.
