10 Gig Predicted To Grow 160 Percent In First Quarter of 2002; 10 Gigabit Ethernet Poised for 42 Percent Annual Growth According to Synergy Research Group.Business Editors PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2002 The Ethernet LAN Switching
LAN switching is a form of packet switching used in local area networks. Switching technologies are crucial to network design, or to that minority of LANs that are used outside the home. Equipment market posted its first consecutive quarter of growth in a year and grew over 5 percent from 2000. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. market analysis by Synergy Research Group, LAN Switching equipment sales increased more than 7 percent in the fourth quarter over the prior quarter with total sales reaching over $3.27 billion and reached $13.78 billion for the year 2001. LAN Switching vendors with strong quarters were 3Com, Avaya, D-Link, Hewlett-Packard, Linksys, Nortel, and Radware; all posted double-digit quarter-to-quarter growth. "SRG SRG In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Suriname Guilder. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. is forecasting the 10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. market to grow to $103 million in 2002, and to $420 million by 2006," said Joshua Johnson Not to be confused with Joshua J. Johnson. Joshua Johnson (c.1763–1832) was the first African American painter to make his living by painting. Biography Johnston was apparently self trained in his art. , LAN Switching Industry Analyst at Synergy Research Group. "We expect the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3ae standard to be ratified in 2002, and as a result, sales should blossom due to its low cost relative to the speed, backward compatibility with existing Ethernet networks, and increased customer confidence in the technology. Metro markets are seen as the biggest opportunity, where 10 Gigabit Ethernet will easily displace comparable OC-192 speed ATM networks at a fraction of the cost. "Also, certain areas of scientific and medical research have been waiting for high-speed, low-cost networks for some time, and these also look to be promising markets for 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments."
