Why Ethernet Still Reigns Supreme

Ethernet links our devices together via interconnected cables, and while cable-less Wi-FI has recently become popular, Ethernet is still the superior method of moving data efficiently and quickly. Ethernet is faster, more secure, and more reliable than Wi-Fi, and holds its title as the preferred medium for industrial, automation, and building applications. The tried-and-true Ethernet solution is still the best way to go, and here’s why:

• Speed – Ethernet is the best way to achieve lightning-fast speed as well as excellent security over the internet. Ethernet connections can reach over 10 gigabytes per second (Gbps) all while keeping your data safe from prying eyes. If you want both high speed and safety, Ethernet has it!
• Data Transfer – These days the demand for massive amounts of data moved quickly has increased greatly, and Wi-Fi just can’t do it, but Ethernet cables can! Fast, cost-effective, and reliable, once again, Ethernet comes out on top.
• Reliability – Ethernet is not a new technology, it is a technology that has stood the test of time because of its superiority. Ethernet has been supplying all manner of businesses with reliable data transfer at high speeds for decades, and shows no signs of stopping! From your computer to your printer, or to the office down the hall, or all the way across the globe, Ethernet delivers.
• High-bandwidth – Streaming video, playing games, and moving large files all use a lot of bandwidth. Wi-Fi tends to choke on high-bandwidth data transfers, at best it’s slower and unreliable, at worst you lose your connection and your data goes nowhere! Ethernet ensures you always stay connected, and that your workflow is maintained efficiently, safely, and, quickly. In today’s fast-moving business world, speed is of the essence!
• Security – We have already mentioned it, but just why is Ethernet the best solution for maintaining security during your data transfers? This is because the cables provide a direct connection between your devices, the internet, and the devices across the globe you communicate with. It’s extremely difficult to tap into an Ethernet connection, whereas eavesdropping on Wi-Fi transmissions is easy, and happens more often than you might think!
• Environmentally friendly – Ethernet technology once again comes out ahead, requiring much less energy than Wi-Fi, and producing zero electromagnetic radiation.

So, cable up and ride the Ethernet Road to the future!
