While the BCM89890 is a 100Mbps device, it is often deployed in mixed-speed networks. Many next-generation designs pair it with a 1000BASE-T1 (1 Gbps) PHY for backbone links while keeping the BCM89890 for leaf nodes (door handles, window lifters, seat controllers). This provides a graceful upgrade path: the central switch can support both speeds, and the BCM89890 remains viable for low-bandwidth, cost-sensitive endpoints well into the 2030s.
