AROONA provides a school district with better connectivity

Stuttgart School District, USA

Stuttgart School District
The issue

The Stuttgart School District wishes to upgrade its entire network to 10 Gb/s in order to provide greater bandwidth capacity for ever increasing numbers of network connected devices. This will help improve delivery of instructional and administrative information to students, teachers and staff. The network is composed of OM1 fibers that are currently only able to carry information at a rate of 1 Gb/s. Network star topology complicates the installation process of new fibers as it increases the number of new cables needing to be installed.

The AROONA solution

Cailabs’ AROONA-STAR solution provides existing multi-mode fibers with capacities of 10 Gb/s. With just one device installed at the network core, it enables the upgrade of several multi-mode links extending towards different remote sites, avoiding supplementary recabling work.

The benefits of the solution
  • 4 links at 10 Gb/s with just one device at the network core
  • Potential savings compared to the recabling of multiple links for upgrading multi-mode fibers
  • No disruption of services during installation thanks to the use of spare fibers
