Corning introduces its LANscape® Passive Optical LAN Solution

Already widely used in government, healthcare, higher education and hospitality sectors, Corning Optical Communications’ LANscape® Passive Optical LAN (POL) Solution is an alternative backbone technology that replaces traditional Ethernet network aggregation electronics and copper cables with passive optical splitters and single-mode fibre. It is ideal for buildings or campuses with over 200 network users and where space is at a premium, bringing fibre straight to the desk or room.

Corning’s solution also provides the following benefits:

· Simple, secure and highly reliable architecture with the capacity to meet higher bandwidths as demand grows
· 20-50% CAPEX savings when compared with traditional copper-based LANs
· Up to 50% OPEX savings when compared with traditional copper-based LANs

Corning’s POL solution is changing the game, providing opportunities to bring added business value and improve return on investment.

For example, the smaller footprint of POL reduces or eliminates the need for wiring/communications closets. This frees up floor space whilst fewer active electronics reduces energy needs, requires less maintenance and troubleshooting, and reduces the time and cost to provision projects.

Additionally, the Corning solution encompasses added flexibility from pre-terminated and field-terminated options with low-skill installation and simple network design for faster upgrades and easier moves, adds and changes.
