The issue
Georgia Institute of Technology wanted to meet the growing demand for bandwidth in the fraternity houses spread across the campus. The existing cabling infrastructure, comprising old generation OM1 multimode fiber, would not allow an increase in bandwidth to 10 Gb/s without the deployment of new fiber optics with all the associated constraints.
The AROONA solution
Cailabs’ AROONA-STAR solution provides existing multimode fibers with capacities of 10 Gb/s. With just one device installed at the network core, it enables the upgrade of several multimode links extending towards different remote sites, avoiding supplementary recabling work.
The benefits of the solution
- Facilitate the upgrade of the multimode cabling infrastructure
- 35 independent 10 Gb/s OM1 links of between 400 m and 1 100 m in length
- Significant savings in both cost and time of installation when compared to a new fiber optic deployment
