ghostinthenetHigh-end APs are one application, but there are power users who need more than 1Gb and but can't justify new cable infrastructure for 10x that.
ghostinthenet10Gb isn't strategic, but it may be a needed tactical technology.
ghostinthenetEr... 2.6Gb/5Gb isn't strategic. Not 10Gb. Can't type.
amyengineerMost memorable or favorite episode of TechWise?
@gallifreyanlack of planning is probably the most pervasive and broadly-implemented standard.
