NanoCenter Improves Energy Storage Options

In order to save money and energy, many people are purchasing hybrid electric cars or installing solar panels on the roofs of their homes. But both have a problem—the technology to store the electrical power and energy is inadequate.

Battery systems that fit in cars don't hold enough energy for driving distances, yet take hours to recharge and don't give much power for acceleration. Renewable sources like solar and wind deliver significant power only part time, but devices to store their energy are expensive and too inefficient to deliver enough power for surge demand.

Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH Mappers Reduce Overall Cost for Delivering New Ethernet Services
Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the DS33M30/DS33M31/DS33M33, a family of highly integrated Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH (EoS) mapping devices. These mappers merge new protocols for transporting Ethernet with the protocols of legacy optical networking, allowing service providers to deliver new Ethernet services using the existing optical transport infrastructure. They are the industry's first monolithic SONET/SDH mapping ICs to support the Ethernet-over-PDH (EoPDH) protocol over optical networks. The DS33M31 and DS33M33 both have a 17mm x 17mm footprint, with the DS33M33 including three additional DS3/E3 add/drop interfaces. The DS33M30 lacks the DS3/E3 functionality, but is the industry's smallest EoS mapper at a mere 10mm x 10mm. All three devices require only a minimal number of external components to implement a complete Gigabit Ethernet to OC-3/STM-1 solution, and provide an ideal solution for Ethernet access equipment, multiservice provisioning platforms, microwave radios, and IP DSLAM uplinks.
