based Ethernet Switch LAN infrastructure available in
the market today…
FiberLAN is a high-performance, high-density GPON
based Optical LAN solution (OLS) delivering high
speed Data, Voice and Video to the Office, Desktop,
or Room delivering comprehensive connectivity for
any Local Area Networking requirement – today and
in the future…
Multi-floor Office/Building Complex
FIberLAN is well positioned to provide bandwidth relief as new
applications to the desktop continue to explode and the emerging
“Cloud-Computing” environment threatens to further restrict already
clogged LAN arteries, new graphic intensive applications, video
sharing and editing all place new constraints on the Legacy Copper
Switched LAN.
Multi-building Campus
In the Multi-Building Campus environment where distance and
operational cost are major considerations for delivering voice,
video and high speed data, FiberLAN is the optimal solution!
Multi-floor Hotel
In the Hospitality Industry where space is limited and demands
for High Speed Internet Access, Voice, Television and Security
monitoring is increasing, FIberLAN provides optimal performance
characteristics for the preferred LAN infrastructure.

Why Fiber Vs. Copper?
• Advances in technology move at an inconceivably fast pace from simple handheld personal devices,
to computers, to company network architectures.
• Attempting to keep pace with these advances has led to a convoluted array of racks, wires, patch panels,
and switches.
• Designing a new network infrastructure or refurbishing your existing network is a significant investment.
There is no doubt you have considered the challenges of traditional network designs; capacity, efficiency,
security, scalability, capital investment, and green initiatives.
• Superior Performance • Smaller or Reduced Footprint
(Equipment is much smaller) • Fiber is Greener than Copper
• Greater Distance (up to 12 miles) • Fiber is Less Expensive than Copper-wire
• Unmatched Security • Fiber has a much smaller Cable Diameter
(Significantly harder to tap than copper) • Fiber has no cross-talk

Introduction to GPON
GPON Overview
PON/GPON grew from a requirement for more bandwidth in the Service Provider Market.
(Higher access speeds than DSL could deliver)
• More Bandwidth (2.5G Downstream GPON Connectivity - How it works
and 1.2G Upstream)
• Higher Subscriber density
• Best replacement for aging copper infrastructure
• Environmentally friendly - green
• Reduce power and TCO cost
• Reduce reoccurring O&M cost
Proven Technology
• First standards developed in 1995
• ITU and IEEE standards based
• Billions of dollars invested in perfecting PON technology
• Fiber Broadband subscribers now surpass cable subscribers
Legacy Copper-wire Switched LAN Network
• Traditional copper-wire switched LAN
networks send radio frequency signals
Legacy Copper-wire Switched
between switches and computers. In turn, LAN Network
the signals from multiple switches are
accumulated at core switching and
processing devices in the main
communications room.
• Ethernet Switches connect via copper to
each PCin a descending manner, from core,
distribution and edge
• Typical copper based LAN speed for data
transfer is 100mbps with newer systems
capable of 1000mbps, the newest systems
require four pair of wires to accommodate
these high speeds and require sophisticated
noise-cancelling processes
• These signals can not travel more than 300
feet from the switch to the computer and
require significant power requirements

Zhone FiberLAN Infrastructure and Products
FiberLAN is the Next Generation LAN
• Zhone FiberLAN is a next generation Optical LAN Solution (OLS) built entirely on industry leading standards.
This fully converged solution is scalable for a single or multilevel buildings, or large campus environments where
customers are installing new facilities or upgrading their current LAN infrastructures.
• Designed as a layer 2 transport medium, Zhone FiberLAN delivers converged voice, video, and data services,
at Gigabit levels to the end user, over a single strand of fiber; thus reducing your LAN infrastructure cabling and
electronics to a fraction of what is required compared to a conventional Ethernet LAN solution.
• As technology advances, so do ways to conserve energy and reduce operating costs. FiberLAN Optical
technology replaces conventional copper and multimode cables used with traditional network infrastructures
to a single mode fiber optic cable allowing you to eliminate the traditional workgroup switches, patch panels,
and racks in the riser closets. FiberLAN Optical LAN Solution significantly reduces:
• Power consumption by up to 85%.
• Space requirements by up to 92%.
• Capital costs related to network elements by up to 73%, while improving availability and manageability.
• Cabling costs - single mode fiber is less expensive to procure than Multi Mode fiber or copper.
