| Passive Optical LAN benefits school and university campuses by expanding bandwidth and improving Internet speeds |
Oakland, CA, Oct 8, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - The average college student owns seven technology devices according to a recent study. As more devices with Internet capabilities flood the market - a projected 30 billion by 2020 - students are rapidly adopting new technologies and connecting to school resources while on-the-go, rather than heading to the library. Students also expect fast and reliable Internet to stream videos and download content in their dorm rooms. The result is a mounting flow of traffic that puts significant pressure on broadband infrastructure and overloads campus networks.
As a global leader in fiber access transformation for service providers and enterprise networks, Zhone Technologies, Inc. shares several reasons why schools and universities should consider transitioning to a fiber-based Passive Optical LAN (POL) solution, like Zhone's FiberLAN, to improve bandwidth availability and network infrastructure.
POL allows educational institutions to meet the increased demand for bandwidth, while saving space, decreasing power consumption and increasing infrastructure lifespan. This technology ensures that the network is fully capable of meeting faculty and student needs for high-speed data, voice and video. Zhone's FiberLAN solution is helping universities and other large campuses increase access to necessary applications and resources that improve productivity, while also providing enough bandwidth for students and staff to stream content for entertainment purposes.
"Passive Optical LAN is ideal for universities and large campuses that want to deliver fast and reliable Internet access to students and faculty, with a technology that's better for the environment and more cost-effective for the campus," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone Technologies. "By implementing innovative POL technology, educational institutions are enabling better connectivity and more opportunities for advanced learning."
The benefits of Passive Optical LAN can be broken down into three categories:
- Financial Benefits, like increased revenue, decreased power utilization and reduced CAPEX
- Infrastructure Benefits, such as saved space, optimized architecture and increased lifespan
- Business Benefits, which include a highly secure solution and a greener alternative
Zhone's solution, FiberLAN, is a high-performance, high density GPON-based POL that delivers high speed voice, video and data to multi-level, multi-unit commercial and industrial complexes like hotels, campuses, bandwidth demanding desktops and work-stations. The solution conserves energy and reduces operating costs. Zhone has implemented its FiberLAN solution at several university and school campuses in North America.
Zhone continues to provide innovative access solutions, delivering voice, video and data services over copper and fiber. For more information on Zhone's FiberHome(TM) portfolio please visit http://www.zhone.com.
