EDN – Shatter bottlenecks in WLANs and keep legacy infrastructure

Wireless connectivity is transforming enterprise network topology everywhere except in one critical area: the infrastructure carrying wireless traffic from access points to network switches.

In most cases, that infrastructure is dominated by 1-Gigabit per second copper cables that transport access point signals back to Ethernet switches. But connectivity demands and next-wave technology standards require greater bandwidth than 1Gbps.

Increasing the ability of the existing infrastructure to accommodate higher transmission rates promises to alleviate this infrastructure bottleneck and accommodate the growth in enterprise wireless connectivity in the most cost-effective, least disruptive way. Read More.
