Amid successive appearance of new technologies such as NAP and new redundancy mechanism, LANs for enterprises will change in this way in 2008

In 2008, LANs for enterprises have a large selection of products in each area, such as cheap and sophisticated LAN switches, wireless LANs with rates of faster than 100 Mbit/sec, high-speed power line communication (PLC) and coaxial cable LANs. An environment, in which companies can introduce a system that has been out of their reach in the past, will be set in place. They no longer need to have a hard time in selecting from the limited choices of LAN products.
