See switched Ethernet. market will see 14 percent year-to-year growth, following three consecutive years of revenue declines. "As a result of aggressive price reductions, 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. will become the largest revenue and port shipment contributor to the overall market, with Gigabit Ethernet over copper seeing more widespread deployment in connecting desktop PCs to the LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ," said Seamus Crehan, Director of Ethernet Switch research at Dell'Oro Group. "Bandwidth continues to become a commodity, however, with the incorporation of more application-specific intelligence, such as Voice-over-IP, security, and wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area , switch manufacturers will achieve more differentiation and price protection."
