Ethernet implementations on the rise

In order to really bring the benefits of Ethernet into the enterprise, however, firms need to integrate it with legacy systems and networks. RS232 to Ethernet support, alongside serial media converters and other technology, will allow full deployment and automation of solutions without complications with network communication or latency.

Ethernet isn't so much an option today as an opportunity to promote growth and innovation for businesses. In any industry, the right tools will improve network flexibility and control, and investing in high-quality Ethernet I/O is critical to the support of these advances. IDC's research indicated that high bandwidth Ethernet connections are a fast-growing requirement among enterprises, with anticipated growth rates of 21 percent. Driven by mobile backhaul, IP VPN and dedicated service, companies will have to invest now in order to keep up with the competition and ensure viable operations in the future, let alone take advantage of the benefits that Ethernet brings to the table.
