Network Speed?

There are two different network speeds. One is LAN (Local Area Network), and one is WAN (Wide Area Network). Both networks will support the industry standard TCP/IP protocol. Also, there is a number of RJ45 jacks which will all run down to a Communications Closet, and therefore interconnect LAN and WAN for the best solutions possible.

For LAN, all lines will connect to a commercial grade 10GBPS network switches. These will also be POE switches which will provide power over ethernet for things such as access points, and home desk phones. In addition, all servers will connect via a 10GBPS LAN connection. This will mean that the only bottleneck for the LAN is the client side. For example, a TV manufacturer may only install a 1GBPS connection, so communication with the TV, and another resource will be limited to 1GBPS. When there are two different network speeds, those connections are always at the slower of the two. However, since all switches, and network connections are 10GBPS, this will give the maximum available possibility.

For WAN, there will be 2 Internet connections. The first is the primary connection which is Verizon FiOS (Fiber Optic Service). The connection will be a 2GBPS connection. This is one of the reasons why there is a 10GBPS LAN setup. The second Internet connection will be a 300MBPS connection with Comcast. This will function for the business, and act as a backup if the FiOS line goes down for whatever the reason. In regards to the FiOS line, there will be a pursuant for a static IP address. If this is possible, then I could use a VPN to connect to my home connection while out. Obviously, I won’t reveal the Static IP address.
