Hybrid Passive Optical LAN
A mix of Passive Optical LAN and Ethernet LAN for large premises with better network performance and security
Companies that span several buildings and long distances can benefit from a combined Passive Optical LAN and Ethernet LAN solution. Hybrid POL offers cost savings and better network performance, with advanced networking and Wi-Fi. This solution is a good fit for medium to high user density networks in large premises.
Our Hybrid POL solution leverages a single fiber link to deliver enterprise services with high bandwidth and low latency to large density environments. This solution connects the core and the access layers of an ALE Ethernet LAN through a Nokia POL infrastructure, with one or several split levels.
Key capabilities
Networking Services
Full Layer 2 services, HPOE, and security features with optional redundant uplinks — delivering enterprise-grade connectivity over a passive optical infrastructure.
Unified Network Management
Unified management for both POL and Ethernet LAN components through a powerful, user-friendly management system — eliminating operational silos between fiber and copper.
Infrastructure Cost Reduction
Eliminates dedicated telecom closets and cooling systems per floor, reduces the distribution switching layer, and lowers overall infrastructure costs significantly.
Future-Proof Fiber Connectivity
Extended distance connectivity with cabling reduction, space savings, and power consumption optimization — providing a single vendor end-to-end solution with flexible, scalable design.
