Passive Optical LAN technology continues to become THE Network Architecture of Choice for designing and building new networks and upgrading existing LANs. Whether it’s a new installation or replacing a traditional copper LAN, Optical Fiber Technology brings tremendous improvements in both design and enhanced efficiencies via Passive Optical LAN. Passive Optical Network (PON) technology can span for 20 km (12.5 miles) or more depending on the optics and splitter ratios. This makes an Optical LAN superior for multi-story buildings, campus networks and ideal for MTU/MDU solutions. When utilizing Passive Optical LAN (POL) you’re essential removing complex and cumbersome design requirements of traditional LANs, where accommodating mid-span switching equipment and router aggregation must be included. With POLAN’s superior and flexible distances, you no longer have to support communication closets every 300 feet. This frees up valuable floor space and delivers an efficient more robust network that will be scalable and future proof as your needs grow.
