FireWire moving forward

Two weeks ago I visited the Vision Show 2009 exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany.

Two very important things happened there with regards to FireWire (IEEE 1394) technology.

1. DAP Technology made a demo of their S1600/S3200 solution. That's 1.6Gbps and 3.2Gbps respectively. It worked fine over 10m standard FireWire cables.
   The demo was semi-public and DAP will make a relevant press release within the next days.
2. Two companies demonstrated their S800-over-Coax cable solutions, using the S800 coax transceivers of Eqcologic.

They are both great news for FireWire, because they show that FireWire is still moving forward.

Have Fun!
