Event Date: 02/22/2017 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time |
Passive Optical LAN helps enable the Internet of Things. It does so by ensuring adequate bandwidth, security, authentication, and quality of service specific to each IP/Ethernet devices. Passive optical LAN can support higher density of gigabit Ethernet end-points with better costs, less space, improve LAN availability and robust security. These positive traits tame the complexity of The Internet of Things, and decouple LAN technology, cabling and electronics historically known obsolescence horizons for a more graceful migration to The Internet of Things’ inevitable future.
