AV Support Added To Extreme Ethernet Switches
Audio video bridging support is being applied to Extreme Networks' enterprise-class Ethernet switches, cementing it as one of the first major switch vendors to take on audio and video system automation through the use of Ethernet.
The IP/Ethernet convergence is advantageous to AVB 802.1Q technology, similarly to VoIP and networked storage, according to Extreme. The company made the announcement during the week's Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) conference in Amsterdam.
