Continuing the series of blogs posts on the most representative technologies to consider when selecting switches, this time we look at VLAN technology. VLANs arose from the need to isolate different stations operating on the same physical local network. In addition, VLANs isolate different broadcast domains and help stations to avoid support excessive broadcast traffic, saving bandwidth and...
Continuing our series of blog posts on the most representative technologies to consider when selecting switches, we will now address port & link aggregation technologies. Historical background on port & link aggregation In the evolution of Ethernet standards, each new generation typically saw a tenfold increase in capacity compared to the previous one: 10 megabits/s, 100Mbits/s,...
This blog post is the first in a series in which we will analyze the most notable technologies that we should take into account when selecting switches. Its aim is not to give a comprehensive description or follow any “didactic” order. One of the main characteristics of professional switches is the feature known as stacking, grouping or virtualization. Different manufacturers refer to this...
5G’s superior performance makes it a truly enabling technology for FWA – but its exact capabilities depend on how it uses its available spectrum. This post looks at 5G possibilities and their impact on the 5G FWA market. ‘5G FWA’ is a somewhat minimal phrase, yet unpacking it reveals much about the present and future of high-performance telecommunications. FWA, or fixed wireless access, is not...
The current Covid-19 crisis has some of you wondering if it is the result of a biological weapon from a shady military lab. The answer is a simple no! As the scientific community so rightly states, nature is enough and more than enough to make new viruses like this all by itself. It has reminded us of this through numerous relatively recent cases. The last century saw the Spanish Flu, Zika, HIV,...
