GPON & Beyond

The logical alternative is to install a fiber-based network that can handle speeds well beyond a gigabit. Nokia Optical LAN is a fiber-based solution that meets the needs of the modern-day business while providing a cost-effective evolution as speeds continue to increase. Nokia Optical LAN delivers significantly better performance than a traditional copper-based LAN, enabling network convergence, simpler operations, greater speeds per user, and up to 50% savings in operating costs.

Benefit of Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON)

Robust Security

  • Unlike copper, Optical LAN cables is not affected by electromagnetic interference

  • Advanced encryption with two-way key exchange

  • Pro-active monitoring to ensure high availability (link protection, logical layer protection, controller and line card redundancy)

Lower Operating Costs

  • Optical LAN power savings can be greater than 50%

  • Smaller footprint relative to multiple distributed copper-based Ethernet switches, bring space cost savings of 60%

  • Optical LAN has significantly fewer active components, resulting in maintenance cost savings of over 50%

  • Optical LAN reduces fault management costs by up to 50%

Scalability

  • Run up to 30km without needing any boosters or repeaters

  • Allows any type of deployment (ceiling, wall, desk mounted), provides Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in single or multi-port configurations and supports different powering options

  • Capacity can be easily upgraded in the future using the same cabling
