Data throughput demands rising quickly - get the core network in shape
By Donna DonnawitzAugust 12, 2013
These drivers are all end-user tasks that organizations need to keep in mind when establishing network strategies.
According to the report, many telecoms have already made major strides in upgrading their networks to support new requirements coming from end users. For businesses, the end result is a situation in which they have an opportunity to make strategic network upgrades to their core infrastructure in order to more effectively meet end-user requirements.
Using fiber as the foundation for better networks
Fiber-optic cabling systems are instrumental to future-proofing the network and, in many cases, meeting contemporary demands. However, using fiber is not always easy because it is expensive and not interoperable with copper infrastructure. Fiber to Ethernet media converters become a key tool in this situation.
Media conversion solutions simultaneously ease any compatibility problems in the network and add a layer of cost efficiency to the infrastructure. Organizations that use media converters effectively can strategically switch between copper and fiber based on performance demands in different parts of the network, optimizing the cost-to-performance ratio.
Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
