Until recently, the horizontal cabling in most buildings was designed to support speeds up to 1 Gbps to the desk, and 1000BASE-T was considered ample bandwidth for horizontal applications in Enterprise buildings. Today, however, developments in wireless technologies are pushing the horizontal bandwidth beyond 1 Gbps, and the broad adoption of these technologies will have a significant impact towards adoption of faster speeds elsewhere in the horizontal and backbone network.
