POLAN builds on proven technology that roots in the fiber to the home GPON technology. It operates with carrier-grade robustness, reliability, and Quality of Service (QoS). Plus, GPON is a mature technology, designed for simplicity and efficiency, easy to understand and manage.
Passive Optical LAN infrastructure incorporates single mode fiber cables, its distribution infrastructure, passive (non-powered) optical splitters and two main active electronic components. An optical line terminal (OLT), which typically resides in the data center or equipment room, and an optical network termination (ONT) that ensures a proper communication to and from the end user equipment.
An all-fiber POLAN installation is considered to offer savings in both capital and operating expenditure, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership. A further advantage is that POLAN requires a smaller cabling infrastructure footprint. It has the potential to reduce or even eliminate the need for floor distributors, which in turn frees up floor space for additional working stations.
With extensive experience in both the LAN and the PON environment, FORTE is in a prime position to offer complete, sophisticated solutions for POLAN.
