About Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3ab. It extends the traditional
100Mbps Fast Ethernet technology to achieve 1000Mbps transmission and reception, while retaining
the same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus, while Gigabit Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network
capacity, it is wholly compatible with traditional 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network facilities. This compatibility
is the key to easy and efficient upgrades to 1000Mbps in your network areas needing greater bandwidth.
Upgrading selected areas to Gigabit Ethernet does not require hardware or software changes in network
areas where traditional 100Mbps Ethernet is providing good service. For upgrading, Gigabit Ethernet is
the clear choice in terms of cost-effectiveness, as well as convenience and smoothness in transition.
