What is Multi-gigabit Ethernet?
Multi-gigabit Ethernet overview
Multi-gigabit Ethernet paves the way for high-speed Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 access points, as well as IoT devices, by delivering blazing fast performance and PoE support over existing cabling.
Using existing CAT5e and CAT6 twisted pair wiring, multi-gigabit Ethernet saves the expense and reduces the complexity of a new cabling infrastructure.
为什么多千兆以太网？
Today’s smart digital workplace puts crushing demands on campus networks. Multi-gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3bz standard) saves the day by providing speeds of 2.5GbE and 5GbE PoE power while using existing cabling to save you time and money.
The skyrocketing use of smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices, combined with high-bandwidth workloads moving across wireless networks, requires that the network infrastructure evolve to meet these demands. This transformation means enterprises need to upgrade their WLAN infrastructure to support increased traffic, performance, and security requirements. With an increasing number of mobile and IoT devices reliant on wireless access, networks must be capable of accommodating a diverse mixture of device types, applications, and services.
今天在全球部署的大多数以太网布线仅限于100米的1Gbps。到目前为止，添加带宽有意思是主要的新布线投资。
Benefits of multi-gigabit Ethernet?
- 提供最新的访问点和IOT设备所需的额外速度。
- Uses existing cabling, avoiding the need to rip and replace your existing cabling infrastructure.
- Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards for powering APs, security cameras, and other devices.
- IEEE 802.11 ax APs可以增加网络容量4 times, demanding more than 1 gigabyte speeds.
HPE智能速率多千兆以太网是什么？
HPE Smart Rate technology supports the industry standard IEEE 802.3bz and solves traffic bottlenecks without ripping and replacing existing twisted-pair cabling. The existing cabling infrastructure can be leveraged to protect existing investments and simplify upgrades to higher speed solutions.
- Smart Rate delivers 2.5-10 times more bandwidth capacity from existing cable infrastructure without expensive and disruptive cable upgrades.
- 智能速率多页面交换机端口支持2.5GBE和5GBE的速度。选择交换机还支持100Mbps，1gbe和10gbe。（见产品数据表。）
- With high power IEEE 802.3bt switches, Smart Rate switch ports provide up to 60W of PoE, regardless of the port speed. The mechanism used in Smart Rate for delivering and receiving power over twisted-pair structured cabling is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3bt and IEEE 802.3at PoE specifications.
- 智能速率切换端口是自动协商的，这使得以太网链接能够置于给定电缆配置上可以实现的最高速度。
- Aruba’s 510 series 802.11ax access points include an integrated HPE Smart Rate port to deliver high performance Wi-Fi for mobile and IOT devices in environments where high density and diversity of applications is an issue.
