Gigabit - for now

Less than 4 years ago, we upgraded the CLC network from 10 Mbps hubs to 100Mbps Cisco switches. It was a significant upgrade. We were pretty happy with ourselves and thought we'd be set for a long time.

This week I installed 2 new Linksys gigabit switches and plan to upgrade the rest by year's end. Now our core switch, which connects our servers and DSL, is talking at 1000 Mbps. Also, the Ministry Center is now connected to the network over a fiber gig link. The fiber has been in place for several years, but it was terminated with a 100 Mb fiber/copper media converter on each side. Now it's connected to a 1000 Mbps fiber GBIC on each end, which gives us a lot more speed to work with.

Now we'll be set for a long time - right?
