Is It Time to Upgrade Your K–12 Network Cabling?
Your cabling plant has lasted so long because even old cable supports Ethernet speeds up to 1 gigabit per second. For traffic like web browsing, email, social media and even video streaming, 1Gbps is a lot of capacity.
Historically, schools have done well with 1Gbps connectivity, but in recent years, advances in wireless technology mean that modern AP radios can carry several gigabits per second of traffic. To backhaul all that traffic to the wired network, modern Wi-fi 6E APs ship with Ethernet ports capable of 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps.
