Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Overview

The evolution of WLAN technology, from 11ac to WiFi 6/6E and upcoming WiFi 7, pushes wireless connectivity boundaries for improved efficiency and network capacity. To match these advancements, wired speed must also upgrade. Unlike costly 10 Gigabit Ethernet upgrades, Multi-Gigabit Ethernet utilizes existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 wiring, saving expensive re-cabling expenses.
