Gigabit Ethernet


GIGABIT ETHERNET STANDARDS

Gigabit Ethernet is committed to promote industry cooperation in the development of Gigabit Ethernet standards.

Just what is Gigabit Ethernet?  Gigabit Ethernet is an extension to the hugely successful 10 and 100Mb/s 802.3 Ethernet standards. Gigabit Ethernet provides a raw data bandwidth of 1000 Mb/s while maintaining full compatibility with the installed base of over 100 million Ethernet

With Clear Internet services, you don’t have to worry about being hooked up to a slow DSL connection. And why should you? Your life doesn’t stay in one place, so your computer shouldn’t have to either. With the Clear Wireless Internet, you can move from room to room, state to state without having to plug in. Freeing yourself from wires never felt so good. Available in a number of states, Clear is making sure you’re always connected.

Why Networking Matters

Most of the explanations of the internet are mumbo jumbo to most people. And it’s really not a surprise. There’s more going on in those networking cables than anyone may ever know. However, what is known is that networking makes our lives easier. When you can connect to others as well as to the internet, you can begin to get things done at work – and that’s better for everyone (including your boss).

The Ethernet is what you use when you’re connected to your modem or to the wireless router in your home. This corded connection allows your computer to talk to the other parts of your network. In a T1 connection, this means you can connect to the Internet far more quickly than you might with a traditional internet connection (thought this costs money, so you generally see T1 capabilities in business, rather than in home systems).

The Future of Networking

What many people are beginning to realize since the invention of the cell phone is that they don’t want to be tethered to their desk by a cord, no matter how fast the connection is. They want to be wireless and to connect to the internet wirelessly, no matter where they are. Wireless networking allows you to take your business and your pleasure wherever you go, without having to find something to plug into. And that just makes more sense for a world which doesn’t sit still anymore.

Here are helpful articles on the networking, internet standards, high speed LAN's and satellite internet.
