Powering Solutions for Passive Optical LANs
As passive optical LAN (POL) solutions gain traction across a wide
range of market verticals, there have been great advancements in both
local and remote powering options. In this course, Kevin Fellhoelter,
EE, (President Solara Technical, an APOLAN member company) will provide
a vendor-neutral viewpoint of the different powering solutions for POLs.
He will discuss recent powering innovations, best practices for both
local and remote powering options, the most efficient power distribution
methods, and design criteria for creating an ideal network
infrastructure.
Note: This is a recording of a webinar originally given on January 8, 2019.
