Wire it Once
Wire it Once
Our world is not slowing down, and neither are the networks that support it. Exponential bandwidth growth and an ever-increasing demand for new services and applications can strain even the most robust infrastructure. But there is a solution. A single, converged fiber-deep infrastructure can handle the requirements of multiple network technologies, including LAN, cellular, video, and building management systems. With convergence, you are protected from a rip-and-replace upgrade cycle, left instead with a simplified technology-neutral and future-ready solution. And who better to help than Corning, the company who helped launch the age optical communications and continues to change the world in which we live.
Why Convergence?
Space Savings
Space Savings
Real estate is valuable, and copper-centric systems are bulky and can be expensive to install. A single strand of optical fiber – one-tenth the width of a human hair – can carry the same amount of bandwidth as four inches of copper cables.

Not only is an optical network easy to install, but a network installed today can last the lifetime of your building or venue. An optical-based network is future ready, providing all the capacity you need now and in the future. No rip and replace, no complex upgrades.

Let optical fiber take the worry out of your deployment. Fiber is the most scalable, cost-effective, and fastest way to move data. And when compared to traditional copper-based networks, a fiber-based converged network is easier to install, takes up less space, uses less energy, and is simpler to manage. One network, with no worries.

Technology is evolving – so your network should too. Today’s operators have a better use of their time and network investments than the rip-and-replace loop of continuous upgrades common with legacy copper-based networks.
With an all-optical converged network, a single investment enables cellular and other applications in scalable, flexible designs that are more cost-effective, easier to install, take up less space, and use less energy. Future upgrades are as easy as changing faucets, not the pipes.
Copper … It’s great for pipes, not network expansion.
