Multi-Gigabit: The Easy Way to Level Up Your Network

Image
This month we began shipping our new DMS-1100 Series 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switches, a family of cost-effective Multi-Gigabit switches. These switches support the new IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBASE-T standard, which allows for 2.5Gbps data rates to at least 100 meters of Cat 5e LAN cabling. Why is this important? Since Cat 5e is still one of the most common cable types in the walls and ceilings of most businesses today, network administrators can double their LAN speeds without having to rip out and replace the basic cabling infrastructure already in place. Until now, IT professionals wanting more bandwidth from a single port had two options: combine two or more 1 GE connections via Link Aggregation, or upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). Neither option is all that attractive or efficient, given that Link Aggregation consumes multiple ports, and 10GBASE-T requires Cat-6a or Cat-7 to get full 100m distances. The new 2.5GBASE-T standard is ideal because it only requires on...

Brace Yourselves, H.265 Compression Is Coming

Image
One of the latest trends in the IP Surveillance industry is the movement to the H.265 compression standard (also known as High Video Efficiency Codec, or HVEC). H.265 provides up to 50% saving in storage space at the same video quality, allowing significant savings in storage costs. Apple seems to agree that H.265 is the new frontier of video compression, as the introduction of their iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra software now allows users to choose the high efficiency standard to save even more storage than every before when it comes to photos and videos. With smartphones pushing the limits on camera resolution by introducing 4K, storage space is becoming more valuable than ever. Now that Apple has thrown its weight behind HVEC, expect other technology makers to add support and create an even bigger demand for the enhanced compression technology. With H.265 on the verge of breaking out into mainstream markets, D-Link continues to be at the forefront of the latest technology with ou...
