A Winning Strategy: Ethernet 10Base-T to Ethernet 400G!-October 4, 2016 |
Ethernet was developed in the 1970s and has been a viable communications protocol for over 40 years. Ethernet was initially used to connect computer systems and peripherals in a local area network (LAN) but quickly evolved to be the protocol of choice for wide area networks (WANs) and of course, the internet. It’s been constantly reinvented, with new capabilities, more security, and faster speeds over the years to keep up with the world’s need for instantaneous, reliable communication. From 10mps in the '90s to 400G today, Ethernet has become the chosen network protocol for communication worldwide.
