TEF 2025: The Race to 400G Ethernet

Описание: Ashika Pandankeril Shaji, Manager System Architect at TE Connectivity, discusses the rapid evolution of Ethernet technology to 400G speeds driven by AI network bandwidth demands and the significant technical challenges this transition presents, including shrinking channel budgets and increased sensitivity to impairments. She highlights how TE Connectivity addresses these challenges through advanced modulation techniques and improved connector designs, while emphasizing the value of industry collaboration at the TEF conference to solve complex engineering problems shaping the future of Ethernet and AI networks.

The Ethernet Alliance held its Technology Exploration Forum (TEF) exploring Ethernet for AI in Mountain View, CA on December 2-3, 2025. The ‪@NextGenInfra‬ team was on the ground to capture thought leader perspectives on changes and evolution needed in Ethernet to support AI/ML workloads — both on the front-end and back-end (scale out).
