APOLAN - Next Generation PON and the Necessity for Testing on Installs

Designing passive optical networks that not only meet today’s standards but also can be easily scaled to next-generation standards is essential. After all, nobody wants to invest in building a highway today unless without assurance it will be able to handle vehicles developed next month, next year and next decade.

This webinar will explore:

• Testing the fiber on day 1 to ensure scalability.
• Maintaining the original fiber investment while growing with passive optical network technology advancements.
• Eliminating any downside to moving forward with a fiber-based infrastructure instead of copper.
• Meeting today’s standards, including XGS PON and NGPON2.
• Adding the next evolutions of PON by simple Wavelength additions using WDM combiners.
• Understanding PON evolution life expectancy and possible applications
