Motorola's New Passive Optical LAN Solution Delivers Savings and Simplicity to
the Wired Enterprise
SAIC enters agreement to resell Motorola Passive Optical LAN solutions for the
enterprise market
LAS VEGAS, May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today
announced the availability of its Passive Optical LAN (POL) solution designed
to revolutionize traditional LAN economics and complexity. POL is an all-fiber
enterprise LAN solution connecting any stationary Ethernet-based device or
system across the enterprise into the wide area network. In addition, Motorola
and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) today
announced an agreement that enables SAIC to resell Motorola's POL solutions
into the global enterprise market. Motorola will showcase its POL solutions at
the 2009 Interop Business and Technology Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, May
19-21, 2009 at Booth No.1643.
Addressing many of the top concerns of enterprise IT professionals, POL
creates a high-performance, reliable and secure network for IP voice, data and
video. Based on Motorola's proven GPON technology, Motorola POL provides
significant capital and operational cost savings over traditional enterprise
network solutions by reducing the need for campus distribution or costly
workgroup switches in every riser closet. The elimination of the switches
offers rapid cost savings in power, cooling, energy, and space costs. In
addition, POL relieves the strain on IT resources by greatly simplifying the
network; reducing the overall number of active components and creating an
architecture that is easier to deploy, manage and maintain.
"Enterprise users require a different level of network sophistication today
than they did even a few years ago," said Kevin Keefe, vice president of
marketing, Access Network Solutions, Motorola Inc. "Not only do they expect
secure and reliable IP voice and data, but they demand improved network
economics and greatly simplified solutions. POL offers clear technology
advantages of fully converged IP voice, data and video and truly disruptive
capital and operational savings."
"Enterprises and their need to implement next generation enterprise networks
solutions and simplify operations remains an important focus area for us,"
said Jeffrey McGaughey, SAIC vice president of IT Business Modernization. "Our
work with enterprises directly supports the need for a disruptive solution
like POL because it can potentially deliver rapid business benefits and
address several of the top IT challenges our customers face. We are excited to
be working with Motorola and making their POL solution available to
enterprises worldwide."
POL is uniquely positioned to enhance Motorola's Wireless Enterprise, a mobile
network solution comprised of wireless LAN (WLAN), broadband and Voice Over
WLAN (VoWLAN) products. By networking traffic between access points,
controllers and business systems, Motorola will provide enterprises with
improved mobility and throughput in addition to unmatched reliability,
gap-free security and with the best ROI and lowest TCO.
Motorola's Passive Optical LAN Benefits:
-- Rapid ROI and low TCO at half the cost of copper-based LANs
-- Simple to install and operate
-- High-performance
-- Highly secure
