By 2025, global data generation is expected to reach 181 trillion gigabytes, with a significant portion processed at the edge [i]. This aligns with the growth of data-intensive AI applications, driving the need for high-bandwidth transmission and increased power densities. Data centers are under pressure to reduce environmental impact, prompting upgrades to infrastructure. The revised TIA-942-C standard addresses these evolving demands. To learn more about these trends and the resulting updates within version C, download our white paper.
