How NET100 Balances Traffic Over Wi-Fi and Optical LAN

Organizations are facing challenges with their wireless networks in the form of limited security, quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth – especially now that high-capacity Wi-Fi 6 systems are being widely implemented.   By pairing a passive Optical LAN with your wireless network, NET100 can optimize network performance to greatly improve your organization’s user experience […]

How NET100 Supports High-Density and Outdoor Applications

Today’s organizations depend on secure, reliable networks that can keep up with advanced applications, beefy file transfers and collaborative communications. To accomplish all this NET100 recommends Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) from Tellabs: the ONT 180C for indoor enterprise LANs and the ONT 131W for outdoor campus environments.   ONT 180C   The Tellabs ONT 180C […]

NET100 Offers a Better Way to Implement SD Networks

Many businesses continue to rely on legacy copper-based LANs while evaluating the merits of implementing Software Defined Network (SDN) functionality. They assume that SDN fixes traditional LAN operational efficiency, security and reliability shortcomings. However, by implementing SDN as an overlay to a legacy LAN, the underlying weaknesses of the traditional LAN remain in place.   […]

This vision can become a reality with Tellabs Optical LAN, implemented by NET100.   With NET100, Optical LAN […]

HDBaseT is the Clear Choice for Display Environments

HDBaseT has been around for 10 years as a global standard for the transmission of ultra-high-definition audio and video. Its continued popularity comes from two compelling technical advantages it brings to many applications.   Technical Advantages   Transports uncompressed 4K signals over 100m of twisted pair cable, preferably Cat6A. By contrast, HDMI only supports up […]

Infrastructure Design Choices Facilitate Capacity Engineering

There are many design choices that can be accommodated throughout the enterprise network infrastructure that directly impact the engineering of proper capacity for both high bandwidth and low bandwidth connectivity, including: Splitter Split Ratio Network Uptime Fiber Cabling Splitter Split Ratio With the availability of symmetrical 10G XGS-PON, optical splitter split ratios become even more […]

Optical LAN – The Practical Solution for the Modern Enterprise

With the growth of complex traffic traveling across the enterprise LAN, there is a need to simplify the underlying infrastructure for better performance. At the same time, network security needs to improve to combat internal and external threats. But how can IT realize the benefits of simplicity and security without compromising one or the other? […]

Right-Size Your Network

LAN Complications The useful life expectancy of traditional enterprise LAN infrastructure is short, historically being around five to seven years, while wireless technology continues to evolve in the 3-5 years range. At each one of these transitions, the switch and cable manufacturers expect you to completely rip-and-replace your hardware and infrastructure. Every time higher bandwidth, […]
