Hybrid POL solution | Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise

ALE Hybrid POL is a mixed architecture that takes advantage of Passive Optical LAN and Ethernet LAN to provide cost savings and better network performance.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Hybrid POL (Passive Optical LAN) solution leverages a single fiber link to deliver enterprise services with high bandwidth and low latency to large density environments. Hybrid POL solution connects the core and the access layers of an ALE Ethernet LAN through a Nokia POL infrastructure, with one or several split levels.

For customers with large premises and demanding networking services, Hybrid POL results in an optimization of the cabling and active equipment infrastructure, while retaining the all Ethernet services for enterprises.

Infrastructure cost savings

The point-to-multipoint optical infrastructure & the use of Optical Network Terminals with access switches lead to a reduction of copper cabling & becomes relevant for long distances.

State of the art networking services

The access switches at the edge of the POL provide for LAN Networking services, and for higher IP port density and HPoE budget where needed. The option of redundant uplinks in the switches makes the network redundancy possible at all network layers.

Easy network management

Centralized management of both POL and Ethernet LAN with the Nokia and ALE network powerful and user-friendly management systems. Provides highly scalable network evolution capabilities.

Cabling reduction

The use of Optical Network Terminals and small-factor access switches at the POL edge, which can be installed closer to the endpoints, leads to a reduction of the copper cabling horizontal runs, and eliminates the need of dedicated telecom closets and cooling systems.

Advanced networking services

The Stellar WLAN APs provide enterprise-grade Wi-Fi with the latest Wi-Fi standards supported on top of the POL.

Do you need Hybrid POL?

ALE HPOL is the ideal solution for enterprises & organizations with large premises.Typically for networks in one or several buildings, over long distances, for medium to high user density, and with advanced networking and Wi-Fi requirements.

Very large airports, extra-large hostels and resorts, extended campuses, sport and entertainment venue or smart cities are among the ideal candidate to deploy this solution.
