Habitech announces TechFest 10G network showcase

Habitech wants to take integrators from gigabit to multi-gigabit networking at its upcoming TechFest 10G showcase. To be held in Basingstoke, January 2020, the distributor is promising to unveil an array of 10G products that will showcase the potential of 10G network architecture end-to-end, from wired to wireless.

In 2012, just before the introduction of 802.11ac’s Gigabit productivity, Habitech created the ProNet platform of IP tools and training, to give custom install professionals the IP networking knowledge required to meet the expansion in on-line entertainment.

Today Habitech says it is ready to introduce the next big evolution in Wi-Fi technology, including Wi-Fi 6 APs and switches.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is able to accommodate many more devices simultaneously, thanks to a four-fold increase in data capacity, at speeds approaching 10Gbps. The challenge is to create a supporting network architecture.
