Traditional LAN architecture versus Optical LAN architecture
Optical LAN is a better way to structure your network
An Optical LAN architecture provides tremendous improvements in the design and deployment of networks. It covers distances up to 20 km which is 200x more than with traditional copper-based LAN equipment. Particularly advantageous for multi-floor buildings and extended campus networks where mid-span switching equipment is eliminated entirely.
The key advantages are:
- Simple and passive fiber distribution network.
- No need for a telecommunications closet or switch every 100 meters.
- Less complex with reduced operational footprint.
- Substantial energy savings.
