By delivering dedicated, scalable bandwidth, where and when it is needed, the LattisSwitch switches relieve the performance bottlenecks that plague traditional shared media networks. Featuring Bay Networks' Fast Frame (TM) technology, the LattisSwitch switches' 2 Gbps internal switching fabric allows multiple conversations to take place simultaneously, providing up to 200 times the aggregate bandwidth available on 10Mbs Ethernet networks.
LattisSwitch switches support standard 10Mbs IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, allowing seamless integration into existing Ethernet environments. In addition, compliance with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specification enables the LattisSwitch switches to support high-speed 100 Mbs connections, delivering additional bandwidth for particularly demanding applications.

Delivering 2.0Gbps internal switching and scalable 10/100 Mbs bandwidth, the LattisSwitch family of Fast Ethernet switches provides up to 200 times the aggregate bandwidth available on traditional 10Mbs Ethernet networks.
Installed in the network center, LattisSwitch switches provide distributed network segments with dedicated 10Mbs or 100Mbs links, providing a cost-effective solution for segmenting the network to improve performance. As a result, more expensive router ports can be reserved for establishing network domains based on network-layer subnetting or geographic locations. The LattisSwitch solution also allows users connected to the switches to be moved anywhere in the network without changing their addresses, reducing the administrative costs associated with making similar modifications in a routed environment.
By offering 100Mbs "big pipe" connections to high-utilization devices such as departmental servers, LattisSwitch switches relieve the data bottlenecks found on 10Mbs shared-media networks. For particularly demanding power workgroups, where even dedicated 10Mbs links are quickly overwhelmed, LattisSwitch switches provide dedicated 100Mbs links to keep the network running at peak performance.
