UPAMD, Here is the Agenda for the upcoming regular meeting of the working group. Today at the Quarterly meeting of the Microprocessor Standards Committee, the Sponsor for P1823/UPAMD, the two motions brought forward by the Working group were Approved. The MSC will submit the PAR modification to NesCom for the June NesCom meeting in China. They also approved the request to start the Sponsor Ballot Pool invitation. This invitation will be open for at least 30 days. It will be forwarded to all materially interested parties in the normal ballot pools such the MSC and this working group. This will also be advertized in IEEE standards publication and newsletters. For the new business section. After a brief set of inquires, it is possible to think about incorporating a fiber optic link in the existing connector footprint. The VcSELs, the phototransistors, the drivers and receivers are all available, and in mass production, to consider a 1-10Gbs (TBD) link. The feature that makes this feasible is the length of the UPAMD connection of less than 10 meters, with a most likely length of ~2 meters. Feedback from a VcSEL producer and fiber optics producer have been positive. The next step would be to get as many interested folks as possible, with expertise in this area, for a feasibility WebEx. If the results a positive we should consider starting a Study Group for a P1823.1 Communications Enhancement working group as a follow on the this working group. The reason to start now is to make sure a the foot print of the connector does not need to change for all the compatibility reasons. I do not want to slow down this project at all. We will also need an advocate for this effort. Universal Power Adapter for Mobile Devices (UPAMD) Working Group Start Time: 10 April 2012 5:00 P.M.
