# Transition Networks – Because They Are!

This quote from Transition Networks' South Central[![Transition Networks because it works](https://www.accu-tech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Transition%20Networks%20because%20it%20works.png?width=307&name=Transition%20Networks%20because%20it%20works.png)](https://www.transition.com/news-events/blog/transition-networks-because-they-are/) Regional Sales Manager Alphie Kilgus is one of Transition Network's favorite quotes. They say it a lot at Transition Networks—because networks are always “*in transition”*. We’ve already witnessed the progression of Ethernet networks from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps.  And now the adoption time for higher speed networks is accelerating rapidly to 10G, 25G, 40G and 100G Ethernet with the need for faster networks being driven by HD video, social media, virtual reality, and Internet of Things (IoT). So how do you plan for those transitions while still meeting today’s network needs? And how can you do it with today’s budget?

1. Utilize equipment with open Small Form-factor Pluggable Transceivers (SFP) slots rather than fixed optic connections
2. Enhance your network with SFP special features – DMI, OTDR, Ethernet Extenders, and implement fiber conservation technologies
3. “Pay as your grow” strategy – pay for and populate only the ports you need today and simply add SFP transceivers as needed to accommodate your network growth

The first simple way is through the use of equipment with open SFP slots rather than fixed optic connections. SFPs allow for a single piece of network equipment to be connected to a multitude of interfaces, protocols, and transmission media via the SFP/SFP+ port. **SFPs offer a cost-effective and flexible method to accommodate network modifications and growth while using existing network devices.
