TORONTO – CTAR Corporation is bringing Motorola’s fibre-to-the-desk solution to Canada.
Also known as passive optical LAN (POL), POL is a next generation enterprise LAN solution that provides a high-performance, reliable and secure enterprise network for IP voice, data and video while eliminating the need for large amounts of copper wiring, multiple distribution closets and related power and cooling systems.
Ideal for enterprise and campus environments, large corporate users, and customers requiring large amounts of bandwidth, POL replaces existing LAN connections with a single high capacity fibre optic cable designed to connect the end user directly to the data centre.
“POL represents a move towards green technology creating a high performance and energy efficient system”, said CTAR president Tina Gokstorp, in the announcement. ”This eliminates the need for distribution closets, routers, cooling and battery backup systems required in traditional LAN systems today.”
In partnership with Advanced Media Technologies and Motorola, CTAR said that it will hold information sessions in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver to demonstrate this new disruptive LAN technology and its design benefits to IT industry decision makers and professionals.
