Bandwidth to Support Convergence
Convergence means combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single network. Enterprises usually need to expand their LAN bandwidth and set up a QoS or Quality of Service priority system to give priority to real-time streams such as telephone calls or video conference feeds, which are more sensitive to network delays than data transfers. Most often, the common protocol for convergence is IP.

What is Ethernet over Copper
Ethernet over Copper, or EoC, uses copper transmission lines rather that fiber optics. T1 lines are most often used to transport mid-band Ethernet signals in the 1 to 10 Mbps bandwidth range when provisioning fiber optic lines is too expensive.

What is PBT?
PBT stands for Provider Backbone Transport. It's an adaption of Ethernet to extend Layer-2 switching into the WAN transport network. PBT was pioneered by Nortel and will be standardized by the IEEE as PBB-TE.

What is PoE?
PoE means power over the Ethernet. It is a way to provide a DC power supply over network lines to energize security cameras, VoIP telephones, badge readers, wireless access points and other devices that might not have an AC outlet nearby.

What is Mid-Band Ethernet?
Mid-Band Ethernet is a WAN or Wide Area Network technology that delivers 2 to 45 Mbps over existing copper pair wiring. This bandwidth range falls neatly in between T1 lines at 1.5 Mbps and DS3 service, usually provided over fiber optic carriers, at 45 Mbps. As a native Ethernet delivery system, mid-band Ethernet offers an easy way to extend the corporate network beyond the premises.
