Design, installation and maintenance of Passive Optical LAN (POL) networks, aka Fiber to the Desk (FttD). POL delivers video, voice and Ethernet services to each user over a single fiber infrastructure. 

POL is the economical; environmentally friendly alternative to traditional copper based Ethernet LAN networks.

Passive Optical Networks

  • TU Standard-based technology
    • BPON G983.x
    • Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) G984.x
    • TIA approved
  • Designed for carrying multiple services on single cabling infrastructure
  • Economical Alternative To Ethernet LANs
  • Deployed worldwide today

POL Benefits

  • Dramatic IT Operational Savings
  • “Green” IT
  • Highest Reliability and Security
  • Future-proofing the infrastructure

Savings

  • Lower network “total cost of ownership”
  • The table to the right demonstrates the possible percentage savings by category in the operation of a passive optical LAN vs. a traditional copper based Ethernet LAN

Green Benefits

  • Reduction in Non-renewable materials
  • Reduction in Power Consumption
  • Reduction in cabling Costs
  • Floor Space Savings
  • Ceiling Space and Fire load Savings

Scalable and Future Proof

  • Single-mode fiber is expected to support advances in PON technology for years to come:
    • POL network can be upgraded without new cable infrastructure deployment.
    • Scalable infrastructure can support up to 25Tbps bandwidth.

Passive Network’s POL solution is a highly reliable and economically disruptive enterprise LAN alternative that offers converged voice, data and video at gigabit speeds to any Ethernet end point such as end user devices, access points and wireless controllers, application servers and printers. The POL solution is ideal for campus environments, new buildings or buildings undergoing major renovations, and provides the ability to rapidly address evolving LAN requirements while dramatically simplifying the LAN and greatly reducing total life cycle costs. 

 Adapted from technology used in its widely deployed gigabit passive optical network (GPON) technology, Motorola’s POL solution provides a great option for enterprises investigating long-term LAN strategies and looking to drive capital and operational costs out of their IT network.
