How to build future-proof networks with gigabit Ethernet

The variety of industrial applications that can be supported through the use of Ethernet technology continues to expand as the “Internet of Things” evolves into the “Industrial Internet of Things” and organizations work to improve operations through data integration. The networking requirements for applications can vary widely and most industrial networks will need to support a mix of Fast Ethernet (100Base) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base), or GigE, devices in the near future. After providing a foundation of industrial networking basics, this white paper will discuss when to choose GigE over Fast Ethernet through a series of application examples.
