The Passive Optical LAN aka (POL) or GPON costs less, has unlimited bandwidth,\u00a0 and hugs our environment. \"POL<\/a><\/p>\n

I could add much more to POLs merit list. Instead, I invite you to make your own list of headaches<\/a> that you’d like to trade in from using the traditional Ethernet LAN.<\/p>\n

Ho! Ho!<\/p>\n

And,<\/em> POL is secure.<\/p>\n

You name the industry, and POL comes out swinging. Here are a few examples: Hospitality,<\/a> Universities<\/a>, and the\u00a0 Federal Government<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This list goes on.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 focus here is healthcare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For hospitals, here is how the Passive Optical LAN shines:<\/p>\n

The applicable industry standard suggests that 45 percent of rooms within a healthcare facility have two to six Gigabit ports; 25 percent have six to 12 ports’ and 30 percent have 14 or more ports.<\/p>\n

A 100 room healthcare facility would need a minimum of 1050 Gigabit ports. If traditional copper-based LAN is selected, the design team would require 1050 copper cables. However, a fiber-based Passive Optical LAN requires only nine single-mode (SMF) fiber optic cables to serve that same number of Gigabit ports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cha-ching! Savings.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fiber optic occupies 90% less space yet has four times greater GbE density and 300 times the reach. This translates to a smaller footprint which means more space for critical care beds.<\/p>\n

Again, it is my honor to\u00a0 translate.<\/p>\n

More space for more beds increases revenues to the facility and provides greater access to people–sick people– Health care’s core business.<\/p>\n

Win, win. I love win\/win scenarios.<\/p>\n

I bet you do too.<\/p>\n

I’m excited! May I go on?<\/p>\n

And, POL\u00a0 converges.<\/em> It\u00a0 wraps up all this goodness in a bow and delivers.<\/p>\n

Here is how.<\/em><\/p>\n

It takes critical care services, patient entertainment and all wireless traffic onto one fiber network and segments the end user experience.<\/p>\n

Translation?<\/p>\n

Flawless service, military-grate security, low-latency transmission and strict Quality of Service (QoS).<\/p>\n

Oops,<\/p>\n

I’ve been a tad naughty, just a tad.<\/p>\n

I forgot to mention that Fiber optic cable has no bandwidth ceiling and no known obsolescence horizon.<\/p>\n

Translation?<\/p>\n

Always,<\/p>\n

‘En vogue.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Happy Holidays! <\/em><\/p>\n

You’ve just met the new Santa.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
