Digital designers need more speed than most people because they transfer large graphics files-and often, under a tight deadline. Using blazingly fast Gigabit Ethernet solutions, simple plug-and-play configurations, and reliable mix-and-match connections often work well in this environment. Many digital designers have used Asante's products-such as the FriendlyNET switches and GigaNIX adapters for years.

Educational facilities include universities, high schools, and elementary schools. Universities typically require high availability, performance, and manageability in handling high bandwidth applications-plus services such as voice, video, and IP multicast.

High schools generally use edge or workgroup solutions to keep their networks running. Elementary schools are often the most cost-sensitive facilities.

Asante has long been a leader in the educational area because its networking solutions are very easy to set up, reliable, and cost-effective.

Larger corporations or enterprises typically have 3 networking levels: core, edge, and workgroup. The core is the backbone of the network-a larger transmission line that carries data gathered from smaller lines that interconnect with it. An edge device passes packets between a legacy type of network such as an Ethernet network and an ATM network, using Data Link layer and Network layer information.

Workgroup computing occurs when computers connected to a network allow users to send e-mail, share data files, and schedule meetings.

Asante's enterprise-class Gigabit Ethernet multiservice network switches are based on the company's IntraCore Architecture, converged telephony, video, and data networks. These systems meet the requirements for multiservice networks that support all applications and data types.

A multiple tenant unit facility has more than one tenant-either business or residential - such as high - rise office buildings, commercial business parks, hotels, college and university campus dormitories, or apartments.

These buildings often have special needs, such as:

• Support for a modern enterprise feature-set (managed, SNMP, Telnet, web management, 802.1d spanning tree, 302.3 Ethernet, and so on)
• Support for data/voice/video over Ethernet/IP
• Very high bandwidth
• Tenant-to-tenant security
• MAC and IP address-per-port tracking
• Industry-standard GBIC Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
• Standards-based IGMP multicasting
• Asante's IntraCore and FriendlyNET products contain these features at a competitive price

The freedom of wireless networking technology is attractive and expanding-no more inconvenient cables or holes, no being forced into just one location.

With the right equipment, people can now access high-speed Internet, printer, files, and other resources from many locations-such down the hall or on the lawn.

Asante's wireless solution is the award-winning wireless-ready cable/DSL router and AeroLAN PC cards, which have won praise for advanced security features and built-in compatibility with Apple's AirPort networks.
