تم شحن 2 مليار من منافذ FireWire ولكن لازال أبطىء من USB 3.0

أعلنت اليوم 1394 Trade Association في بيان صحفي لها صدر هذا الصباح عن شحن مليارين من منافذ FireWire للعالم  وهو رقم مذهل مقارنة بأن هذا النوع من المنافذ بدأ يختفي من الظهور على حاسباتنا وتتوقع أن العام 2011 سيكون هنالك نمو أكثر ثباتا لهذا النوع من المنافذ بالأضافة إلى دعم المنافذ الجديده FireWire S1600 ولكن للأسف هذا النوع من المنافذ تملك معدل سرع للبيانات 1.5 جيجابت بالثانيه مقارنة بمنافذ USB 3.0 والتي تقدم سرعة 5 جيجابت بالثانيه ومع دعم أنتل الحديث لهذا المنفذ ستواجه هذه المشكلة كبيره .

FireWire Reaches 2 Billion Ports Shipped Worldwide, Will Continue its Strong Growth in 2011

— IEEE 1394 Provides More than 1.2 Billion Consumer, Computer, Industrial Products with Optimal Connectivity; Will Move to 1.6 Gigabit/second Bandwidth in 2011 —

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FireWire, the popular computer, consumer electronics and industrial systems interface, reached the two billion ports milestone in 2010 and will continue its steady growth worldwide throughout 2011, the 1394 Trade Association said today.

“The two billion ports represents a significant new milestone for 1394”
The two billion FireWire ports shipped provide more than 1.2 billion consumer and computer products with reliable, versatile high-speed connections available from developers of FireWire silicon including Texas Instruments, LSI, and PLX Technology, among others. FireWire continues to be applied in a wide range of PCs, storage systems, new generations of set top boxes, industrial and factory automation equipment, and professional audio systems.

The 1394 Trade Association, which made the announcement prior to its first quarter general meeting in Las Vegas, estimates the total of 1394-equipped devices will increase again in 2011. The group foresees continued expansion into higher speed computing, storage and consumer electronics products, with steady growth of 1394-enabled products in the industrial cameras and instrumentation segments, where FireWire is established as the interface of choice. (see December news release at http://www.1394ta.org/press/TAPress/2010_1213.html) Also, innovative and exciting work being completed by Dap Technology with S1600 and S3200 speeds (see http://www.daptechnology.com/index.php?id=692) is leading to new market opportunities. In addition, the 1394 standard is moving forward in automotive networking applications.

“The two billion ports represents a significant new milestone for 1394,” said Max Bassler, chairman, 1394 Trade Association. “Just as impressive is the innovative and creative application of FireWire in new generations of advanced industrial automation, vision systems, and production equipment. FireWire will continue its steady, stable growth during 2011, as we migrate to the first products operating at 1.6 Gigabit/second bandwidth — and as 1394 proves itself superior to competitive interfaces in a variety of sectors.” Bassler added that there is now a new generation of set top boxes with FireWire, providing data transfer speeds of 800 Megabit/second.

The 1394 Trade Association is a worldwide organization dedicated to the advancement of the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) standard. The 1394TA is in its 16th year of promoting 1394, which is used today in mass-market computer, entertainment, and professional products, and in a wide range of specialty applications such as audio, defense, aerospace, industrial, and robotics products.
