Optical LAN Solutions (OLS)

The problem is traditional copper-wire switched LAN networks send radio frequency signals between switches and computers.
In turn, the signals from multiple switches are accumulated at core switching and processing devices in the main communications room.

Ethernet Switches connect via copper to each PC in a descending manner, from core, distribution and edge Typical copper based LAN speed for data transfer is 100mbps with newer systems capable of 1000mbps, the newest systems require four pair of wires to accommodate these high speeds and require sophisticated noise cancelling processes - These signals can not travel more than 300 feet from the switch to the computer and require significant power requirements

Zhone’s Powerful Passive Optical LAN Solution provides compelling benefits over the traditional router/switch approach. Tremendous saving are realized in every aspect of a deployment including:

• Equipment Cost

• Building Power

• Cooling

• Installation/Cabling

• Management

• Floor Space

The combination of capital and operational cost savings equate to significant benefits – CAPEX, OPEX and TCO.

FiberLAN Enables “Green-deployment” reduction in enterprise wide power and space consumption while providing Increased “Life-expectancy” of fiber based infrastructure 25 years vs. 10-15 years for copper.

FiberLAN Reduces Management cost due to ease of use with Zhone EZ Touch and ZMS Network Management and at the same time reduces installation cost based on individual Fiber optic cable run supporting up to 64 ports or splits per PON port while delivering unlimited bandwidth

PON/GPON grew from a requirement for more bandwidth in the Service Provider Market. (Higher access speeds then copper could deliver)

• More Bandwidth (2.5G Downstream and 1.2G Upstream)

• Higher Subscriber density

• Best replacement for aging copper infrastructure

• Environmentally friendly - green

• Reduce power and TCO cost

• Proven Technology

• First standards developed in 1995

• Reduce reoccurring O&M cost

• ITU and IEEE standards based

• Billions of dollars invested in perfecting PON technology
