What's far more efficient than traditional Ethernet LAN?

Optical LAN saves up to 70% of CapEx, 80% of energy, and 90% of space needs

Enterprises and government agencies require huge amounts of bandwidth to meet their communication needs. But as their network requirements increase, so do costs.

An all-fiber Optical LAN (local area network) helps you meet all your network requirements — and it's far more reliable, secure, and cost-effective than Ethernet LAN.

Tellabs Optical LAN, based on gigabit passive optical networking (GPON) technology, saves you up to 70% of CapEx, 80% of power requirements and 90% of space requirements. Our highly reliable and secure network delivers data, voice, and video services on one platform. And it's a green alternative to the traditional Ethernet LAN.
