Limitations of Passive Optical LAN
While this technology looks good for large green field deployments, existing networks may not change to POL, at least immediately. All companies have invested heavily in the traditional LAN technologies.
POL solutions maybe an over kill for smaller organizations. They may simply not use all the capacity offered by it and the solution might become very expensive, compared to copper-based networks.
With POL (in its current form), possibilities of single-vendor lock-in is quite high. Optical fiber cables, adapters, patch cords, emitters (active components), etc. are more expensive than their copper counterparts.
Installation, testing, adds, moves and changes in an optical network is generally more complicated than in an copper network. Upstream bandwidth is lesser than/different from downstream bandwidth.
While power may not be required for the distribution layer, all end-point terminals (WTGs) needs to be powered. POL is largely based on Single-Mode Fiber cables. Many companies have existing investments in Multi-Mode Fiber cables.
There will be a steep learning-curve involved in managing these networks for enterprise applications – Some applications may have to be redesigned. The options and range of equipment targeting the enterprise POL market is currently very limited.
