  • Pol Passive Optical Network

    Pol Passive Optical Network

    A passive optical LAN, called POL or POLAN, is short for Passive Optical Local Area Network. It utilizes optical splitters to distribute data from one single source to multiple user endpoints. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. Not having a long history as a passive optical network (PON), it is a better replacement for copper-based LANs in local area networks. By leveraging fiber-optic technology, POL provides numerous benefits such as improved performance, cost savings, and enhanced network scalability. Following the FTTH trend to deliver more bandwidth to consumers, this new technology promises to provide more capacity, more services and future-proof networks to. The need to avoid the bandwidth limitations of copper category cables led to development of a new, fiber optic-based architecture called Passive Optical LAN (POL).
