Network managers are currently faced with the challenge of creating networks that can
provide ultra-fast speed and high performance to serve the needs of todayÕs network
users, while simultaneously preserving the investment they have made in Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet technology.
By addressing the entire spectrum of Ethernet data rates (10/100/1000 Mbps), the
Summit family of LAN switches enables you to introduce high-speed Gigabit Ethernet
backbones into your existing network, while maintaining established connections to the
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps segments that already exist.
