Nexus of forces could spell substantial network overhauls

Using media converters in response to emerging technologies
Cloud, mobile and social technologies demand data responsiveness. Businesses expect to operate more quickly and efficiently when taking advantage of these solutions, and the technologies that support operations must be equipped to respond accordingly. This includes the network. Major network upgrades may be necessary to get companies ready to handle cloud, social and mobile use on a large scale.

Making these upgrades, however, is another matter entirely. It is often extremely costly and complex. Furthermore, organizations must consider the future when making cabling and network architecture changes. Media converters position organizations to overcome these problems by helping them keep costs under control and establish flexibility in the configuration. Flexibility could prove critical moving forward as cloud, social and mobile technologies are still maturing.

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.
