TECHNOLOGY TRAINING
Passive Optical LAN solutions are the next-generation local area network technology. Fiber optics offer speed, performance, and security that legacy copper-based LANs just can not match. Advantages for your customer: Higher performance, space savings, reduced power and facility thermal load, elimination of EMI/RFI susceptibility, elimination of communication closets, elimination of ladder racks and basket trays, sustainability benefits facilitating LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation, and lower solution cost.
Network design, ONT placement, infrastructure optimization is important. The flexibility provided by Passive Optical LAN solutions is vast. Getting it right is not always obvious or easy. Optek Solutions provides the clarity you need to properly design, deploy, and support a Passive Optical LAN network.

Network Design
General contractors, architects, and lead engineering firms rely on resellers and system integrators to design and document the Passive Optical LAN solution for their customer's network. While traditional active Ethernet LANs are easily understood by these firms, Passive Optical LAN technology is new and at times misunderstood. It is imperative for the reseller / system integrator to be the subject matter expert.
We empower your team with the knowledge and confidence to design the core, passive fiber optic infrastructure, ONT placement and connectivity, zone design, remote powering, security architecture, and system integration. We also provide the tools to properly generate the T-drawing package in AutoCAD and Revit.

Campus Architectures, Planning, Scale
Campus networks highlight the true power and scale of Passive Optical LAN solutions. With a high-capacity OLT, several remote buildings can be served from the primary data center. These small and medium sized buildings enjoy a significant reduction in network equipment, many times eliminating the need for MDF and IDF rooms. Campus refresh projects require careful design and planning, understanding the path to a Passive Optical LAN solution will be in phased deployments. We provide the knowledge and tools necessary to design, plan, and execute from pilot project to full campus coverage.

Wireless Network Integration
Passive Optical LAN solutions provide more than just Data and VoIP services, it provides complete IP services integration on a single fiber infrastructure. Deploying the latest 802.3ac Wi-Fi access point technology on fiber offers many advantages over copper - primarily eliminating the copper! Fiber offers more capacity at much lower cost. What is the optimal method to connect WAPs on a PON network? From the IDF, zone box, direct SFP ONT connection? We will train your team on the ideal methods.
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) are expensive, but necessary for corporate mobile coverage and security. The fiber infrastructure cost for a DAS is 60-70% of the total solution. When deploying a Passive Optical LAN solution, the DAS can "ride" on the same fiber infrastructure, greatly reducing the overall solution cost and making you more competitive.

Voice-over-IP (VoIP), IP/RF Video Integration
Passive Optical LAN solutions offer true quality of service (QoS), which trumps the class of service (CoS) capability found on leading copper LAN solutions. This allows the fiber network to fully integrate all IP services, including carrier grade VoIP. Proper design and network engineering is necessary to ensure all services run properly under all network conditions.
Hotels, hospitals, and housing complexes all offer some form of video service. Passive Optical LAN carries IP multicast video in-band, while RF video operates on separate wavelengths. Bandwidth and wavelength planning are crucial, as is the selection of third party equipment to integrate the full video solution. We offer a broad ecosystem of vendor solutions to

Security Cameras, Access Control, Building Automation Integration
Passive Optical LAN offers a competitive edge when it comes to service integration. Example, most corporate IP video networks operate on a separate data network. The reason: traditional copper LANs can not guarantee delivery of critical video datagrams under congested network conditions. A properly architected Passive Optical LAN solution can guarantee all services, as true QoS is inherent to the technology. Greater integration means you provide more value to your customers, adding more to your bottom line.

Network Security, Secure Fiber Solutions
Passive Optical LAN is inherently more secure than legacy copper LAN networks. Fiber does not suffer from Electromagnetic or Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI), making tapping extremely difficult. For the ultimate in network security, Smart PDS (Protective Distribution System) uses active fiber monitoring to detect movement or tapping attempts to the local area network. Any intrusion attempt on the fiber network is alarmed with immediate deactivation of the ONT(s). Our partners offer the most complete, integrated security solutions.
