The Association for Passive Optical LAN (APOLAN), the non-profit organization advocating for the education and global adoption for POL, recently highlighted the long-term operational value of passive optical networks during its Monetizing the Value of Passive Optical LAN for Developers, Owners, Property Managers and Tenants webinar.  

APOLAN encourages architects, engineers, consultants, installers and integrators with an interest in passive optical network technologies used for enterprise networking applications to view this on-demand webinar. The one-hour video highlights how the operational savings and flexibility over the lifetime of a passive optical network extends far beyond IT, benefiting developers, owners, property managers and tenants alike.

Developers and Owners: For building developers and owners, much of a passive optical network's value comes from its flexibility and scalability. As smart building initiatives become more common and tenants expect more network-driven amenities and services, passive optical networks support not only wired connectivity but also wireless and cellular enhancements, including 5G and private LTE networks. In addition, they use less energy, resulting in greater efficiency and cost savings over traditional networks.

Property Managers: In addition to managing a building's physical structure, property managers are often responsible for security, access control, comfort systems and communications. Passive optical networks provide the ability to manage these systems from a centralized telecommunications room, more easily bring connectivity to public spaces and reduce the number of vulnerability points, reducing network security risk.

Tenants and Employees: Ultimately, networking choices need to benefit the end users - the people and businesses who live and work in the building. Property owners and managers want satisfied tenants, and the reliability of passive optical networks can ensure they have blazing-fast internet, reliable television and consistent service throughout the entire property.

A passive optical network's benefits make it the perfect solution for virtually every market - financial, corporate/office, manufacturing, education, retail, sports/entertainment, hospitality, transportation, government, healthcare, utilities and multi-dwelling units.
