Telecommunications vendor Entrisphere has raised $33 million in a second round of funding, bringing its total funding to $55 million, the company announced this week. Participating in the round were new investors Capital Technologies CDPQ, Crosspoint Venture Partners, Duff Ackerman and Goodrich, and the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan Board, as well as previous investors Accel Partners and Benchmark Capital. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based Entrisphere also announced that Mark Floyd is the company's new president and chief executive. Floyd was co-founder of Efficient Networks and was recently an entrepreneur-in-residence at Crosspoint Venture Partners. Entrisphere is a telecom vendor that allows service providers to offer advanced data services without disrupting their existing infrastructure.

Intel also is about to build its own tunable lasers based on technology the company acquired when it bought start-up New Focus, Maloney said, a key step in increasing the amount of data that can be shipped over optical fibers. Tunable lasers can be adjusted to send different frequencies of light instead of being locked to a single frequency. Intel last week began selling networking equipment using others' tunable laser technology that can send eight frequencies of light, but the New Focus-based products, due in early 2003, will support 40 or 80 different light channels, spokesman William Giles said. Intel is using technology from its April 2001 acquisition of LightLogic to make the equipment small enough, he added.

But Maloney said standards difficulties could hold back the now-blossoming world of 802.11 wireless networking, He exhorted the computing and communications industry to prevent a standards war over what will prevail as the current 802.11b standard, also known as rugged case for samsung galaxy s8 - black Wi-Fi, is supplanted by faster but sometimes incompatible 802.11a and 802.11g standards, "We're going to ruin this technology if people end up confused over a or b or g or whatever," Maloney said, Intel's solution to the problem is to develop a PC card modem, code-named Calexico, which contains Intel wireless chips that work with both 802.11a and 802.11b networks, The modem is due early next year..

In addition, security is a growing concern for wireless technology. Maloney said Intel advocates adoption of the TGi security standard in 2003. Faster server chipsIntel also announced new Xeon chips for servers Wednesday, as expected. Dual-processor models running at 2.6GHz and 2.8GHz cost $433 and $562, respectively, in quantities of 1,000. Intel also announced a 1.6GHz Xeon processor that will run at a lower voltage and therefore will consume less power and be better suited to small systems such as super-thin "blade" servers. It consumes an average of 30 watts of power, Maloney said, and costs $350 in large quantities.
