If you look at our roadmap and some of the products coming through, there’s a huge focus on multi- gigabit as the market shifts to Wi-Fi 7. In particular, there’s a need to deliver 5GB and 2.5GB via the ports. “Likewise with ultra PoE, the demand for higher PoE budgets and higher PoE capabilities is there as the need for higher density access points and higher spec IP surveillance cameras, for example, come to market. “Likewise, investment in Unity will continue. We see it as a huge opportunity to go out and capture more business and re-engage partners, and give them a new tool to get a larger share of the market.” n
