PON:  Faster.  More efficient.  Less money.  Yes!

Passive Optical Networks (PON) leverages single mode fiber for a superior network solution beyond
any copper cabling. Aside from experiencing better performance, you’ll save energy, real estate and
money. The key for comparison is examining the total installed cost. Immediately PON’s compact size
and ease of delivery to the desktop reduces space requirements, network equipment, installation, and
construction costs. A PON deployment can be half the cost of copper. And once you’re moved in,
you’ll see even more savings.

In this class we will be discussing  copper vs single-mode fiber, what makes PON the better choice, how to handle connections on the other end of the fiber, mounting options, space savings and power savings.  I look forward to answering any questions you may have regarding Passive Optical Networks and how they will bring you ROI.                                                                

Since the concept was first articulated less than 20 years ago, we’ve seen an exponential rise in the visibility, innovation and adoption of this groundbreaking concept and technology. Along with this innovation and the accompanying usability we’ve also seen a darker side as well. Wide spread security breaches, data loss, systems compromise, corporate espionage and even national security hang in the balance. This session will examine where we’ve been and where we’re headed from a security perspective.
