Portola Valley, CA, June 13, 2017 --(PR.com)-- A newly released report by 650 Group indicates
Multigig/NBASE-T port shipments are becoming an increasing part of the mix in the Ethernet Switch
Market. The report also indicates that this will be the fastest growing segment for SMB and campus
switching over the next year with 5 Gbps being the more prevalent option in 2017.

Since the beginning of the year we have seen market introductions of many products supporting
NBASE-T as client devices begin to need more than 1 Gbps of bandwidth, said Alan Weckel, Founder
and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. Apple's iMac Pro at the WWDC conference earlier this week
joins and increasing list of gaming PCs, workstations, WLAN APs, cameras, and other devices to push
new levels of network traffic.

The Quarterly Ethernet Switch report related to this segment indicates that Brocade (Ruckus), Cisco,
H3C, HPE Aruba, Huawei, and Netgear all shipped products in 1Q17 with Cisco and HPE having the
highest market share.

Additionally, 650 Group also published that the Enterprise WLAN Aps with Multigig ports grew
significantly Y/Y, driven in part by new product introductions ramping during the quarter.
