Passive optical LAN

Passive optical LAN testing

Following the FTTH trend to deliver more bandwidth to the consumers, a new technology is rising to provide more bandwidth, more services and future-proof networks to the enterprises: passive optical LAN (POL). Also called OLAN or fiber-to-the-desktop, this GPON-based technology creates a very cost-effective local area network (LAN) with virtually unlimited capabilities.

Description

Also called OLAN or fiber-to-the-desktop, this GPON-based technology creates a very cost-effective local area network (LAN) with virtually unlimited capabilities.

Singlemode fibers all the way to the desktop and optical splitters replace the traditional CAT5/6 cables and active Ethernet switches providing considerable benefits to the network owners:

CAPEX saving for cables and equipment
OPEX saving from lower energy and cooling (Green technology)
Space saving with fewer racks of equipment and no remote hubs
Secure and reliable communications over fiber-optic cables

Rely on EXFO's FTTH expertise to test your POL networks

When GPON networks were first deployed in FTTH, EXFO was there to test them. Since then, we have continued to focus on providing innovative and industry leading test solutions that will help you to efficiently address the challenges of deploying your private LAN networks. Take advantage of EXFO’s FTTH/POL technology leadership and expertise to deliver high-performance networks—the easiest way.
