Types of Broadband Tech Notes
Networks Optimized
Networks Optimized for Incoming Data
Many businesses equip their facilities with high-speed T1 connections (and even more robust links) to handle peak loads - when many users and systems are simultaneosly uploading and downloading large quantities of data, during peak business hours. Click here to continue reading.
Conditional Access (Intel)
GE & Intel Combine to Protect Your Network's Integrity
Protecting network integrity includes more than preventing outsiders from hacking into your systems. A commitment to security also requires ensuring the security of each data broadcast. GE Americom and PassEdge" (a division of Intel) have combined to create PassEdge" Network Security, a data security solution that replaces traditional conditional access with IP-based security.

"Efficient, cost-effective handling of asynchronous data"
Networks Optimized for Incoming Data
Many businesses equip their facilities with high-speed T1 connections (and even more robust links) to handle peak loads - when many users and systems are simultaneosly uploading and downloading large quantities of data, during peak business hours.
However, careful analysis shows that the flow of data traffic often is one-sided. With the exception of e-mail, most high-volume, large multimedia files are coming into a location, while the outgoing data traffic is much lower in volume and bandwidth demand.
This reflects the way many people access and use data. Someone types a small data stream such as www.ge.com and sends it into the network. What returns is kilobytes of information: text, graphics, images and other material - a constant lop-sided exchange that occurs at desktops throughout a company.
