Workshop gives complete picture on CE.NET 5.0
A UK-based workshop will give embedded software development engineers hands-on experience in running the new 5.0 release of Windows CE.NET on next generation processors.
TR-100 builds on TR-67 (ADSL Interoperability Test Plan) and evolves the ADSL test plan to address the higher speed options.
With the launch of common performance standards, service providers can reduce costs and time to market by enabling independent testing laboratories (ITLs) to perform product interoperability test against a standardised test suite.
TR-126 provides an extensive reference model for measuring key performance indicators associated with a user's quality of experience for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video (video on demand, and broadcast video), voice and best-effort data (web browsing, gaming).

The new members elected to the board of directors are Les Brown of Texas Instruments and Michael Hanrahan of Huawei Technologies.
Les Brown also serves as Chair of the Testing and Interoperability Working Group within the Forum and Michael Hanrahan has been a strategic leader in the development of stronger Asian region participation as well as instrumental in defining current policy and procedures within the Forum.
Directors who were re-elected for a further two year term were: Tom Starr, AT and T, George Dobrowski, Conexant, Heather Kirksey, Motive and Greg Bathrick, PMC-Sierra.
Richard Cardone, Marketing Director of Tazz Networks was elected as Marketing Chair.
