Switches: Stacking/grouping/virtualization techniques

Switches: Stacking/grouping/virtualization techniques

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...

Can 4G/LTE become a main line connection?

Can 4G/LTE become a main line connection?

Perhaps this question  has to be clarified somewhat. Indeed, slower and more mature cellular lines 2G and 3G lines are already main line connections in certain scenarios, especially in those segments which are not so dependent on large bandwidth, but at the same time are extremely dependent on mobility. A typical example is that of remote cash point machines deployed across the world in all...
