GBIC modules allow technicians to easily configure and upgrade electro-optical communications networks. The typical GBIC transceiver is a plug-in module that is hot-swappable (it can be removed and replaced without turning off the system). The GBIC devices are economical, because they eliminate the necessity for replacing entire boards at the system level. Upgrading can be done with any number of units at a time, from an individual GBIC module to all the GBIC modules in a system.

Computrad also offers a wide range of networking equipment apart from GBICs including over 2000 different routers, network switches, vendor specific GBICs, network modules, chassis, power supplies, memory, remote access servers (RAS), network hubs, and network kits from leading manufacturers such as Avaya, Cisco, Nortel Networks, Netscreen, Watchguard, Sonicwall, Nokia Checkpoint, Alcatel, Brocade, Ciena, HP, RedBack Networks, Juniper Networks, Sun Microsystems, Extreme Networks, Enterasys/Cabletron, Foundry Networks, 3Com, Lucent, Marconi, Fore, Riverstone eand many others.
