"3Q05 was another strong quarter for the Ethernet Switch market as users continued to upgrade their Ethernet Switch infrastructure in anticipation of increased bandwidth requirements Bandwidth requirements (communications) The channel bandwidths needed to transmit various types of signals, using various processing schemes. Every signal observed in practice can be expressed as a sum (discrete or over a frequency continuum) of sinusoidal , resulting in very strong Gigabit and 10 Gigabit port shipment and revenue growth," said Seamus Crehan, Director of Ethernet Switch Research at Dell'Oro Group.
