WFH increases the demand for network bandwidth generally, and in particular for professional fields that rely on greater network bandwidth, such as sophisticated imaging, industrial automation, surveillance systems, smart medical care. The virtual world of the Metaverse is also gradually turning daily activities to the Internet.
For edge computing and cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital scanning, 3D modeling and other technologies, a larger amount of enterprise-class network equipment will be required, such as: data centers, workstations, cloud servers, NAS network storage devices, and network connection equipment switches, routers, etc. The Ethernet network specification will gradually move to 10G as mainstream.
Realtek will launch a single port 10G PHY in 2022. It can be combined with a Realtek 10G MAC to become a 10G Ethernet product total solution, and can also be used in 10G PON SFU...etc.
