Qypsys, along with project partners, Corning and DIRTT were named the 2023 Excellence Award Winners by APOLAN for their contributions to an OLAN installation project named “Rock Hill Manufacturing Plant”. This partnership won because it “resulted in a future-ready, cost-effective, and streamlined installation while meeting the client’s needs for scalability, flexibility, reliability, and minimal downtime. Results included a 60% reduction of obsolescence risk, a 50% quicker installation time, and a 30% CapEx savings”.

APOLAN Awards Program
APOLAN is a highly respected “non-profit organization composed of manufacturers, distributors, integrators, and consulting companies that are actively involved in the optical LAN marketplace. APOLAN members support the growth and education of the optical LAN industry and are focused on formulating solutions on how best to market, install, educate, and support this burgeoning field.”
The Excellence Award is a prestigious award presented to the companies whose teams have “demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in integrating various aspects of an optical local area network (OLAN) project”. It recognizes the effective coordination of different teams, working together to efficiently problem-solve and execute a successful installation of OLAN systems.
Fiber-Deep Optical Local Area Network (OLAN) Solutions
An OLAN uses fiber optic cables to transmit data at high speeds over long distances without the need for radio waves or an antenna. Instead the communications network uses optical transmitters that convert electrical signals into optical signals, optical fiber cables to carry the signal, optical amplifiers, and optical receivers to convert the signal back into an electrical signal to transmit digital information.
Fiber-deep cabling has emerged as a much better alternative to the unwieldy and unmanageable bandwidth expansions of traditional copper networks. It eliminates the need for amplifier cascades and overcrowded head ends that often resulted in insufficient service group segmenting. Instead, it tames the complexity and operational costs of network expansions by pushing the optical-to-electrical conversion as close to the end user as possible.
With 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) technology driving high-speed connectivity demands, an optical LAN (OLAN) with fiber-deep cabling is the best way to deliver high-speed responsiveness and high quality service. This combined solution offers several advantages over traditional copper-based networks.
Ultra-Fast Speed
Fiber optic cables transmit data using light pulses, which travel significantly faster than electrical signals in copper wires. This translates to much higher bandwidth and blazing-fast data transfer rates, often in the range of 10-20 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This is ideal for applications that require high bandwidth, such as streaming video, transferring large files, IoT technology applications and supporting a high volume of users.
Greater Capacity and Covers Greater Distances
OLAN networks have almost endless capacity, easily accommodating a large number of users with an even larger number of connections. And the fiber optic cables can cover greater distances since they are not limited by signal degradation like copper wires.
Enhanced Security
OLAN technology employs a single fiber which is split to reach multiple users with a PON splitter which then requires the signal to be encrypted for each user. This end-to-end encryption layer adds an extra level of security to the network.
Simplified Installation and Maintenance
Fiber optic cables have a smaller footprint. They are thinner and lighter, making them easier to manage. And the low voltage cabling makes them easier and less expensive to install, thus requiring less deployment time and limiting disruptions to services. They also require less supporting hardware, which doesn’t require as much space in telecom rooms compared to traditional copper networks. Plus, they require fewer active components comparatively too, reducing complexity and maintenance needs.
A Future-Proof Network Solution
The flexibility and variety of configurations allows Qypsys to design the OLAN network to meet your specific needs. It allows for easy expansion, scalability, and capacity increases over time so it can grow with you. And it’s designed to not only support current technologies but be easily upgraded to support future technologies too.
