When your business relies on data or the Internet to deliver intensive applications, Ethernet is the preferred networking solution. It is:
- Easy to Use: As the industry standard for connecting computers to an Internet provider, to other computers on a Local Area Network or to connect Local Area Networks to each other, Ethernet is a simple, plug-and-play solution that can be easily managed.
- Cost Effective: Ethernet is less expensive than older, alternative network technologies such as Frame Relay or Asychronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and there is no need to invest in equipment that converts packets of information throughout the network.
- Flexible: Ethernet enables businesses to add or “scale” bandwidth on demand.
