What is Optical LAN?
Nokia Optical LAN brings the technology that powers the internet – fiber – into your organization’s local area network. The advanced performance of Optical LAN means all voice, data and video services can be supported on a single network. A fiber LAN is more flexible, scalable and secure than a traditional Ethernet-over-copper LAN, providing unlimited bandwidth with a 50+ year lifespan. As Optical LAN is a passive technology, it uses fewer components, needs less floor space and consumes less power; it significantly reduces costs associated with installation, operations, maintenance and energy consumption.
Future-proof your LAN infrastructure
Nokia Optical LAN delivers significantly better performance than a traditional Ethernet-over-copper LAN and reduces costs up to 50%.
- Capacity. Optical LAN delivers 2.5 Gb/s downstream and 1.2 Gb/s upstream on each fiber so you can converge separate networks, eliminate bottlenecks and deliver gigabit speeds to every user.
- Cost. Optical LAN is significantly cheaper to install and to run than a copper-based LAN.
- Security. Optical LAN provides military-grade security and carrier-grade reliability.
- Longevity. Fiber is future-proof, robust and scalable, providing value for 50+ years.
- Flexibility. Deploy Optical LAN anywhere, as fiber supports a smaller bend radius than copper cabling and is resistant to signal and noise interference.
- Simplicity. Optical LAN is designed for simplicity and efficiency. It’s easy to understand and manage.
