Transform Your Office Network with FS All-Optical Network Solution

Companies' networks are evolving towards informatization, intelligence, and mobility to boost office efficiency. However, traditional office networks face a series of issues such as complex maintenance, unstable signals with delays, and inadequate information security. Therefore, there is a growing demand among businesses for high-speed, stable, and secure mobile office networks.

The Challenges: Common Network Issues in Office Spaces

High Costs and Energy Consumption of Active Devices

Traditional network solutions often involve numerous devices at the aggregation and access layers, all concentrated in server rooms. This setup requires heavy investment in low-voltage rooms to house and manage the equipment. These expensive active devices generate significant heat, necessitating cooling systems that increase energy consumption and operational costs.

Difficulties in Network Upgrades and Modifications

Traditional networks primarily use Ethernet cables at the access layer, which have limited transmission distances and speeds. As enterprises expand, the increasing number of employees and workload demands higher bandwidth and lower latency. This often requires frequent cable replacements, leading to high costs and lengthy construction periods, hindering normal business operations.

Network Latency and Security Risks

The office network is complex and includes many devices and various types of equipment. This complexity makes it difficult to ensure both quality and security. Maintaining the network is a challenging task due to its intricate nature. Employees may experience delays or network access issues when working remotely, collaborating across departments, or changing offices. These issues can slow down their internet connection and work efficiency. Additionally, when external visitors connect to the corporate network, the security of their devices cannot be guaranteed, and their activities are hard to monitor, potentially leading to data breaches and system attacks.

The Benefits: Cost-Effective, Reliable and Secure

Excellence in Performance with Energy Saving

The passive GPON solution reduces the need for active equipment by using passive ODN to replace active aggregation and access switches. This approach cuts down initial construction costs and saves 80% of space in weak current wells and cabling areas.Passive equipment in data centers reduces the need for strong cooling systems. This saves about 30% in energy use. It also helps to manage heat dissipation issues. This makes data centers more eco-friendly. Moreover, High-density OLTs are compact and can be installed centrally in racks. This saves space and allows for the aggregation of optical fibers.

Seamless Evolution and Flexible Expansion

The solution replaces traditional network cables with fiber optics, providing high bandwidth and long service life. The current fiber infrastructure is ready for future bandwidth upgrades. Customers only need to upgrade the active equipment at each end for a smooth transition. This approach significantly reduces upgrade costs and improves efficiency. Additionally, fiber optic cabling is easy to install, visually appealing, and allows for flexible deployment during office layout changes, effectively supporting future development plans.

Wireless Improvements for a More Flexible Office

Wi-Fi 6 AP devices have smart antennas that provide wide office coverage. This ensures easy connectivity from anywhere in the office. Paired with an OLT offering 1.25Gbps upstream and 2.5Gbps downstream bandwidth, employees can enjoy high-speed, low-latency network access 24/7, boosting their productivity and online experience. Additionally, the EPON and GPON dual-mode automatic switching ONU resolves compatibility issues with various devices, enhancing overall network reliability.
