The new Ethernet Alliance 2026 Roadmap confirms what many in the industry are already seeing:
AI workloads are reshaping network infrastructure.
From 100G–800G interconnects today to 1.6T and even 3.2T on the horizon, Ethernet is rapidly becoming the backbone of AI, and cloud.

For organisations building next-gen infrastructure, the question isn’t if networks need to scale — it’s how fast.
At GBICS, we see this roadmap as a defining moment for the future of connectivity.
