Motorola Delivers Enterprise POL Workgroup Terminal With PoE

Motorola has announced the availability of the enterprise market’s first Passive Optical LAN Workgroup Terminal with 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE). The newest innovation to the Motorola Passive Optical LAN (POL) solution portfolio, the WT21004 includes PoE ports to directly power local area network (LAN) stationary Ethernet devices such as Voice over IP phones and wireless access points.

“As IT departments look to drive costs out of the enterprise, a POL solution that supports PoE provides significant benefit,” said Kevin Keefe, vice president of marketing, Access Network Solutions, Motorola. “Our all-fibre workgroup terminal provides IT departments with flexibility by avoiding dedicated power supplies for low-power Ethernet devices. Motorola’s PON solution can overlay existing enterprise networks and tightly integrate with Motorola’s wireless LAN solution. No matter what architecture an enterprise chooses, they can build a reliable network with significant CAPEX and OPEX savings.”

The Motorola WT21004 is designed to deliver a full range of advanced voice, data and IP video services over a converged all-optical LAN. It is easily deployed in support of enterprise users and applications and provides line-rate gigabit services at distances of up to 20 kilometres from the core switch/ router, which reduces the cost, complexity and operational requirements associated with traditional multi-tiered and legacy data networking technologies.
